As expected, today was supposed to be full-disclosure on this vulnerability. On further evaluation, another vendor must be contacted as the vulnerability permits a users computer to be hijacked. Surely there is enough of that going on with current spyware/adware. That vendor has been sent an email today, and we'll respond back to the lists with a followup shortly. Eventually we'll get to releasing the full disclosure, however, at this stage, it is a much bigger issue than just phpbb and we want to play it safe for the greater community-at-large.
