A Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability exists in Advanced Electron Forums (AEF) through 1.0.9 due to inadequate confirmation for sensitive transactions in the administrator functions.

An XSS issue was discovered in Advanced Electron Forum (AEF) v1.0.9. A persistent XSS vulnerability is located in the `FTP Link` element of the `Private Message` module. The editor of the private message module allows inserting links without sanitizing the content. This allows remote attackers to inject malicious script code payloads as a private message (aka pmbody). The injection point is the editor ftp link element and the execution point occurs in the message body context on arrival. The request method to inject is POST with restricted user privileges.

Advanced Electron Forum (AEF) 1.0.8 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to a .php file, which reveals the installation path in an error message, as demonstrated by languages/english/deletetopic_lang.php.

SQL injection vulnerability in Advanced Electron Forum (AEF) 1.x, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the filename in an uploaded attachment. NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.

Directory traversal vulnerability in Advanced Electron Forum (AEF) 1.x allows remote attackers to determine the existence of arbitrary files via the avatargalfile parameter when changing an avatar, which leaks the existence of the file in an error message. NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.

Electron Inc. Advanced Electron Forum before 1.0.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via PHP code embedded in bbcode in the email parameter, which is processed by the preg_replace function with the eval switch.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Advanced Electron Forum (AEF) 1.0.6 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the beg parameter in a members action to index.php.
