You are in my opinion absolutely right. but there is a bigger more serious issue.

1) There is a SQL Injection vuln in an admin module. Attacker #1 wants to take over the site but does not have admin access to exploit this vuln.

2) attacker #1 crafts a uri to exolit the issue and grant himself admin acess.

3) since attacker #1 does not have admin access he relies on phpBB's lack of session ID's to make a post that looks something like this

-----------------------


-----------------------

4) Now the attacker has done two things. Successfully executed a command or query just like he was an admin, and had the admin/mod delete his initial post just by viewing it thus eliminating the evidence.


I think if you see how flawed phpBB's logic of this situation is then email them and/or post on thier forum telling them you wanta SECURE php installation :)
