Multiple vulnerabilities in MyBB

["MustLive" <mustlive () websecurity com ua>]

Hello list!

I want to warn you about Information Leakage, Abuse of Functionality,
Insufficient Anti-automation and Brute Force vulnerabilities in
MyBB.

-------------------------
Affected products:
-------------------------

Vulnerable are MyBB 1.6.3 and previous versions.

In recently released versions MyBB 1.6.3 and 1.4.16 the developers denied to
fix these vulnerabilities.

Details:
----------

Information Leakage (WASC-13):

Logins are names of the users at the forum (and so it's possible to reveal
logins at forum's pages).

Abuse of Functionality (WASC-42):

Login enumeration is possible in these functionalities - by id it's possible
to reveal all logins:

http://site/member.php?action=profile&uid=1

http://site/member.php?action=activate&uid=1

Abuse of Functionality (WASC-42):

http://site/member.php?action=login

If to enter incorrect login and password and correct login and incorrect
password, then in second case the captcha shows. Which allows to reveal
logins (at that this process can be automated, because it doesn't protected
by captcha).

Insufficient Anti-automation (WASC-21):

http://site/member.php?action=activate&uid=1

http://site/member.php?action=lostpw

These functionalities have no protection from automated attacks (captcha).

Brute Force (WASC-11):

In login form (http://site/member.php?action=login) the vulnerable captcha 
is used, which shows after unsuccessful authentication attempt.

For bypassing of captcha the session reusing with constant captcha bypass
method is used, which described in my project Month of Bugs in Captchas
(http://websecurity.com.ua/1551/).
