Hi,

I have (mostly) default setting for my vBulletin. However, someone just registered a username with no name? It's blank- there's not even a space. The requirement for new usernames is the vbulletin default 3 to 20 characters. How did this happen?

When I search his User ID and look him up he shows up but, again, with no username.

Any ideas?

EDIT: here is the user- http://www.topictown.com/showthread.php?t=403

You are the second one reporting this.

Maybe it is a character encoding issue?

Just checked your link. The username is not empty, it contains characters not supported by your OS; I do not have multilingual support installed, but I suppose it is something from an asian charset.

This is nuts. I'll create a support ticket.

I'm watching this thread very closely. Hopefully we will get a root cause soon. Do you run vbSEO?

very likely the same exploit.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
