    PHPShell is a shell written in PHP. It basically enables you to execute commands on a remote system without having to log on via telnet or ssh.

    I guess you could if the website hosting the forum was on the same server as the attacker running PHPShell. If that were the case then it would be down to the fact that the web server is insecure.

    In my opinion it isn't that safe. I would only ever consider using it via SSL and password protected.
