[Animal <cOre@xxxxxxxx>]

Vendor:  www.mybboard.com
Version: 1.00 Preview Release 2, RC4 and mayb prior.
Script:  usercp.php
Code:
>  if($mybb->input['away'] == "yes" && $mybb->settings['allowaway'] !=  
> "no")
>        {
>     [...]
>         $returndate =  
> $mybb->input['awayday']."-".$mybb->input['awaymonth']."-".$mybb->input['awayyear'];
>     [...]
>      $newprofile = array(
>               "website" =>  
> addslashes(htmlspecialchars($mybb->input['website'])),
>               "icq" => intval($mybb->input['icq']),
>               "aim" => addslashes(htmlspecialchars($mybb->input['aim'])),
>               "yahoo" =>  
> addslashes(htmlspecialchars($mybb->input['yahoo'])),
>               "msn" => addslashes(htmlspecialchars($mybb->input['msn'])),
>               "birthday" => $bday,
>               "away" => $away,
>               "awaydate" => $awaydate,
>               "returndate" => $returndate,   // <--- not checked (bday  
> too, but anyway)
>               "awayreason" =>  
> addslashes(htmlspecialchars($mybb->input['awayreason']))
>               );
>     [...]
>      $db->update_query(TABLE_PREFIX."users", $newprofile,  
> "uid='".$mybb->user['uid']."'");
So: Attacker can replace "awayday" param by some SQL code and change any  
field in _users table.
    Changing "usergroup" for his "uid" to 4 makes him an admin. To use  
this bug attacker have to be
    a registered/awayting_activation user.
