phpBB has one of the worst track records for forum packages with regards to security issues and they have, as Les mentioned, been promising to "fix" the heart of the problem for many, many years now. Quite a few years ago I grew tired of the "phpBB security hole of the week" game, transitioned everything to SMF, and never once looked back. I routinely turn down gigs that want phpBB if I am unable to convince them to go with SMF - it's just not worth the headaches.
Is it possible to quantify this phpbb security issue ?
