$sid='';
preg_match('#sid\=?([0-9a-z]*)#i', getenv('HTTP_REFERER'), $sid);

 if($sid[1]!=''){
 header("Location: ".$operation."&sid=".$sid[1]); 

if you have example <IMG SRC="http://SOME.SCRIPT.PHP";> and you send reffere... 
(testes in IE, Mozilla etc) that please check.. getenv('HTTP_REFERER')

The phpBB team was informed about this issues and they confirmed that these 
vulnerabilitie exists in phpBB 2.0.19. Solusion is use POST for all 
operation.
