Technical description

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in Invision Power Board (IPB) 1.x and 2.x allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) idcat and (2) code parameters in a ketqua action in index.php; the id parameter in a (3) Attach and (4) ref action in index.php; the CODE parameter in a (5) Profile, (6) Login, and (7) Help action in index.php; and the (8) member_id parameter in coins_list.php. NOTE: the developer has disputed this issue, stating that the "CODE attribute is never present in an SQL query" and the "'ketqua' [action] and file 'coin_list.php' are not standard IPB 2.x features". It is unknown whether these vectors are associated with an independent module or modification of IPB
