It has come to our attention that Invision Power Board 2.0.x and Invision Power Board 2.1.x contains two areas where malicious code could be executed. One area requires moderator access and other other requires a carefully crafted POST or GET request. Even though we've not been successful in expoiting IPB 2.1.6 using these methods in our own trials, we felt it best to strengthen security in these areas.
This discovery is based on research from Gulftech.org, a leading security company, and as such has not had full public disclosure.
This security update has a full version number of: 21012.60516.s.
