    >From the ultimatebb homepage installation instructions:
    
    D) Create a Members directory. All of the files in the Members folder of
    your ZIP file should be stored in another directory on your web server. You
    should create a new directory called "Members" on your web server to store
    these Members CGI files. It is imperative that you name this directory
    Members (exactly); otherwise, the UBB will not function properly. You should
    place this directory either as a subdirectory of your CGI directory or above
    the web root, for security reasons. Once you have created this new
    directory, upload all of the files in the Members folder into it. These
    files must be uploaded in ASCII mode, not BINARY.
    
    So to fix this bug, all one has to do is place the Members directory outside
    the web root.

    How to fix? change the members path to something more like
    xvc83nx9wy4nd0w74m3. That will solve it
