Title: MiniBB Profile Website Name HTML Injection Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
miniBB is web forum software. It is written in PHP and will run on most Unix and Linux variants as well as Microsoft Windows operating systems.
miniBB is prone to an HTML injection vulnerability. The vulnerability exists in the 'bb_edit_prf.php' script but is exposed via the 'bb_func_usernfo.php' script, which provides the interface for editing user profiles. The source of the issue is that 'bb_func_usernfo.php' does not sufficient sanitize input supplied via the 'website name' field of user profiles. This issue could permit registered users to inject hostile HTML and script code into the 'website name' field of their user profile, which would be rendered by other web users when the user profile is viewed.
This could be exploited to steal cookie-based authentication credentials. It is also possible to use this type of vulnerability as an attack vector to exploit latent browser security flaws.
