There is a very old still widly used 'exploit' for this BB.I cant remember where i put it, ill have to find it or code it back up again.I think there has been a patch released but i am not certain to if its 100% safe .

Hi Cronkilla,

I think your referring to the old JS or URL exploit.
As far as i know these have been patched.

Im not aware of those risks but the one i was refering too is the way in which the board is coded it allows users to log in as admin via certain url's basically bypassing normal security.

Ah the url exploit to gain different user levels and admin.
I have confirmed that this exploit no longer exists as the new style board does not use user levels no more.
But if you do come across the url code i would be interested if you could email me it.

Regards
Jay.

I am very positive the exploit is still commonly used on this type of board. I will have to gte a few of my friends round and we will have to go through the code and find the design flaw and make a patch up for it,of course this caudl take minutes days or never as all those who code in any language will know
