    Details
    
    *******
    
    ASP-DEV Discussion Forum V2.0 is an ASP forum system that covers all the 
    needs for a forum. 
    
    It's possible to retrieve sensible users information. There is an 
    administrative
    section for administrating this forum. This section is located here:
    
    http://www.example.com/forum/admin/ (if forum is the installation dir of 
    the forum)
    
    By default this page isn't restricted, so everyone can be the 
    administrator of this
    forum. Everyone can see every password and every users information.
    
    Solution:
    
    *********
    
    The vendor has been contacted and a patch is not yet produced
    
    
    Suggestions:
    
    ************
    
    Protect the admin directory.
