I know my last thread about this was deleted for the purpose of other users not being disclosed the vulnerabilitie, I will disclose nothing.
However after the initial vulnerabilitie I discovered I followed up with a message to Philip an Ken (thank you guys for your concern in the vulnerabilitie) after the contact with Ken and Philip I disclosed the information to vBulletin and unfortuanatley the only reply was to the effect of "we don't care", this disturbed me a bit because this is a product that is bought and used by many corps.
I decided to download the evaluation version of the software and found 2 more bugs in the software that I installed on my personal web-site and was able to cripple it and aquire user accounts and encrypted passwords.
I don't disclose vulnerabilites I find to anyone other than companys that are vulnerable and the people responsible for the vulnerabilities.
I am currently working on finding a way around these problems in the code and will inform you guys first and foremost of the steps to secure the bb.

regards,
greEd

Well, we appreciate your findings even if VBulletin doesn't. I think that is quite disturbing and hopefully Philip will acquire what you've found and use it to better this site, even if it means going with some other software. :(

Thanks greEd, please keep me updated...

I've contacted the vB developers as well, no meaningful response or a fix currently.
