    Vendor: www.mybboard.com
    Version: 1.00 Preview Release 2, RC4 and mayb prior.
    Script: usercp.php
    Code:
    > if($mybb->input['away'] == "yes" && $mybb->settings['allowaway'] !=
    > "no")
    > {
    > [...]
    > $returndate =
    > $mybb->input['awayday']."-".$mybb->input['awaymonth']."-".$mybb->input['awayyear'];
    > [...]
    > $newprofile = array(
    > "website" =>
    > addslashes(htmlspecialchars($mybb->input['website'])),
    > "icq" => intval($mybb->input['icq']),
    > "aim" => addslashes(htmlspecialchars($mybb->input['aim'])),
    > "yahoo" =>
    > addslashes(htmlspecialchars($mybb->input['yahoo'])),
    > "msn" => addslashes(htmlspecialchars($mybb->input['msn'])),
    > "birthday" => $bday,
    > "away" => $away,
    > "awaydate" => $awaydate,
    > "returndate" => $returndate, // <--- not checked (bday
    > too, but anyway)
    > "awayreason" =>
    > addslashes(htmlspecialchars($mybb->input['awayreason']))
    > );
    > [...]
    > $db->update_query(TABLE_PREFIX."users", $newprofile,
    > "uid='".$mybb->user['uid']."'");
    So: Attacker can replace "awayday" param by some SQL code and change any
    field in _users table.
         Changing "usergroup" for his "uid" to 4 makes him an admin. To use
    this bug attacker have to be
         a registered/awayting_activation user.
