Title:MyBB Multiple Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
Summary:MyBB Forum is prone to multiple cross site scripting vulnerabilities.
Description:Summary:
MyBB Forum is prone to multiple cross site scripting vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple flaws are due to:

- The profile editor of the moderator control panel does not properly
encode the signature of a user when editing it.

- An admin can allow HTML input for specific forums via the setting
allowhtml.

- An insufficient validation of username parameter in registration.

- The files with extension .attach that contain HTML code can be uploaded and
are interpreted as HTML files by some default server configurations.

- The account activation form echoes a given code unencoded to the user.

- In many of the update scripts including upgrade3.php, upgrade12.php,
upgrade13.php, upgrade17.php, and upgrade30.php, POST values are echoed
without proper encoding.

- A CSS Injection error in 'search.php' script.

Vulnerability Impact:
Successful exploitation will allow remote
attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary
script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site and
to bypass csrf protection.

Affected Software/OS:
MyBB version 1.8.6

Solution:
Upgrade to MyBB version 1.8.7 or later.

CVSS Score:
