CVE-2002-0287
pforum 1.14 and earlier does not explicitly enable PHP magic quotes, which allows remote attackers to bypass authentication and gain administrator privileges via an SQL injection attack when the PHP server is not configured to use magic quotes by default.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.43%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
