Hello,

Well what's been happing is that users was logged in there normal account what they have singed up with, then they went to a topic then they went back to index page, they would of been on a staff account or a random, account out of the blue there been no MSQL injections or anything it's a fresh install with a plugin called newpoints and I was wondering what this could be?

Thanks

Might be a caching issue?

The cache path is fine on the site and onto the server, I did a reinstall of the server because I thought it was a server issue, then I did a reinstall of mybb and the same problem happens again, which is very wired.

PM me your forum url with a random account.

Didn't see anything out of the ordinary besides a PHP error:
Warning [2] Invalid argument supplied for foreach() - Line: 1214 - File: search.php PHP 5.5.35 (Linux)

Didn't see the issue that OP described either though.

Are you sure of this? Have you ever experienced this issue yourself?

The only problem I can think of is modification in the user's session. That is the only way an account can change.

If you are sure that this problem exists, it might be that someone has messed up with your copy of mybb. Best delete all files and do a fresh install and then connect the OLD db to the new installation.

Yeah I've experienced, it myself one time too I did a fresh install, same stuff happens, I even did a fresh install of WHM, and check there was no issues server side.

Then I reinstalled mybb, Then somebody tried to go on the forums who wasn't logged in to an account and then they were logged into a staff account who had access to the admincp but lucky the admincp had a pin then.
