Title: Invision Power Board Potential IP Address Spoofing Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Invision Board is web forum software. It is implemented in PHP and is available for Unix and Linux variants and Microsoft Windows operating systems.
It is reported that Invision Power Board is prone to an IP address spoofing vulnerability. This issue presents itself due to a design error in the application. Specifically, if an attacker is using a proxy to access a remote forum, the application logs the attacker's internal IP address on the LAN, instead of the real IP address of the proxy. This issue could potentially allow an attacker to spoof their IP address by using a proxy and carry out attacks without revealing their real IP address.
This issue is reported to affect Invision Power Board version 1.3, however, it is likely that other versions are affected as well.
Affected Products:
- Invision Power Services Invision Board 1.3.0
- Invision Power Services Invision Board 1.3.0 Final
- Invision Power Services Invision Board 1.3.1 Final
