as on this online example already running, the 2.0.1 will fix also any javascript security for the page-forum.php.
Substantially the patch just fix, adding correctly into page-forum.php (or whatever you named it) the js code to allow the origin check for the embedded iframe, ONLY allowed then on the domain it run.

With the http only cookie fix, that by the way is a secondary security issue, disputed anywhere so long, about the fact that this change or not something about security, version 2.0.1 cover all and any possible security issue.
Stay tuned! It is coming really soon!

About embed phpBB posts into WordPress side or any other content ...
it is coming the:
w3allcustomiframe shortcode
What it do?
Display any content, into any wordpress page, passing just the url.
So, the forum can display anywhere.
A Topic, or any other phpBB page, included print_view displayed into wordpress. I find it really nice. Isn't it?
An example online will be provided soon.
With resizer, or as fixed height.
The shortcode w3allcustomiframe can embed via iframe any content, also cross domain.
The shortcode can be styled as like.
The shortcode run also without linking users, so the plugin can be used also only for this scope.
