Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2007-6237. PoCs published by nexen.

AI-analyzed exploit summary This exploit targets a SQL injection vulnerability in DeluxeBB <= 1.09 by manipulating the 'membercookie' cookie to change the email address of any user, including the admin. It registers a new user if necessary and then updates the victim's email via a crafted HTTP request.

Description

cp.php in DeluxeBB 1.09 does not verify that the membercookie parameter corresponds to the authenticated member during a profile update, which allows remote authenticated users to change the e-mail addresses of arbitrary accounts via a modified membercookie parameter, a different vector than CVE-2006-4078. NOTE: this can be leveraged for administrative access by requesting password-reset e-mail through a lostpw action to misc.php.
