| Detailed Description |
The YaBB has an 'YaBB.pl' script Cross-site Scripting Vulnerability.
YaBB is an open-source Bulletin Board system which runs on any system capable of executing Perl CGI scripts. YaBB version 1 GOLD SP 1.3.2 and possibly other versions are vulnerable to cross-site scripting vulnerability, caused by a failure of the application to properly validate user-supplied input in the 'YaBB.pl' script. A remote attacker could create a specially crafted URL link to the 'YaBB.pl' script containing malicious script code, and then could persuade a target user to click it. Once the URL is clicked, the embedded codes would be executed in the victim's Web browser. A remote attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
