I have received a report carried out by a security company on a DNN site that I installed.  It states the below about the forum module:

The DNNForum installation used on the site uses an AJAX system for user searches. The response to these AJAX requests contained information on all users registered in the system.
 

Thats the only information I have and I'm no hacker so can't either verify if the above is true.  Can someone let me know if this is a potential problem?

 I am not aware of this function within the Forums module. Do you have other modules installed in the same content area, which are used to display the user list?
