ASP-DEV Discussion Forum V2.0 is an ASP forum system that covers all the
needs for a forum.

It's possible to retrieve sensible users information. There is an
administrative
section for administrating this forum. This section is located here:

http://www.example.com/forum/admin/ (if forum is the installation dir of
the forum)

By default this page isn't restricted, so everyone can be the
administrator of this
forum. Everyone can see every password and every users information.

The vendor has been contacted and a patch is not yet produced

Protect the admin directory.
