Description:
Simple Message Board is a freely available Web based message board system. It is implemented in PHP.
A cross-site scripting vulnerability affect Simple Message Board. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied URI input that will be output in dynamically generated Web pages.
The problem presents itself when HTML and script code is supplied through the 'PostDate' parameter of the 'search.cfm' script.
An attacker may leverage this issue to have arbitrary script code executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user.

This may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials as well as other attacks.
