VBulletin is prone to an SQL-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data before using it in an SQL query.

A successful exploit may allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

VBulletin 4.0.x are vulnerable. 

The exploit is caused due to a variable named 'update_order' not being
sanitized before being used within an insert into statement.

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == 'update_order')
{
$vbulletin->input->clean_array_gpc('r', array(
'force_read_order'   => TYPE_ARRAY
));

if ($vbulletin->GPC['force_read_order'])
{
foreach ($vbulletin->GPC['force_read_order'] AS $threadid => $order)
{
$db->query_write("
UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread AS thread
SET force_read_order = '$order'
WHERE threadid = '$threadid'
");
}
}

 You will need Admincp Access then go to
site.com/admincp/force_read_thread.php then in the force read order colum
put a ' into one of them to show this
