Title: JelSoft VBulletin Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
VBulletin is a commercially available web based bulletin board application. It is implemented in PHP and may be run on Unix and Unix like operating systems as well as Windows.
It has been reported that VBulletin is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. This issue is reportedly due to a failure to sanitize user input and so allow HTML and script code that may facilitate cross-site scripting attacks.
This issue is reported to affect the 'url' parameter of the 'register.php' script, which is passed through a URI.
This could permit a remote attacker to create a malicious link to the vulnerable application that includes hostile HTML and script code. If this link were followed, the hostile code may be rendered in the web browser of the victim user. This would occur in the security context of the web server and may allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials or other attacks.
