Hi,

I am new to this list and to security in general so please excuse my 
question. A friend told me that our forum software phpBB is not very secure 
and told me about this. Where can I get information on that? What must I do 

www.securityfocus.com has an archive of just about every phpbb issue. You probably also
want to check the vendor changelog at www.phpbb.com.



to make it secure?

Uninstall it. In all seriousness I'd say phpbb and phpnuke have some of the worst track records 
for a web application ever.
