The make_password function in ipsclass.php in Invision Power Board (IPB) 2.1.4 uses random data generated from partially predictable seeds to create the authentication code that is sent by e-mail to a user with a lost password, which might make it easier for remote attackers to guess the code and change the password for an IPB account, possibly involving millions of requests.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2006-0633 affects Invision Power Board 2.1.4 password recovery. The reset authentication code was generated from partly predictable random seeds, making account takeover easier if an attacker can guess the emailed code. The record notes this may require very large request volumes, and current severity data is incomplete. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Invision Power Board 2.1.4 deployments with password reset enabled and reachable from untrusted networks. The source bundle does not identify other affected versions or products. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless an affected public forum is still running. If IPB 2.1.4 is internet-facing, prioritize remediation because the impact is account takeover despite incomplete severity scoring. Mitigation focus: Inventory any remaining Invision Power Board installations and confirm exact versions.; Check Invision vendor guidance for the fixed release and supported upgrade path.; Upgrade or retire IPB 2.1.4 instances where found..
