| Detailed Description |
The vBulletin software has a 'memberlist.php' Cross-site Scripting Vulnerability.
vBulletin is a PHP-based Web forum, developed by Jelsoft Enterprises, that uses a MySQL database.vBulletin versions 3.0.0 RC 4 and earlier are vulnerable to cross-site scripting vulnerability, caused by a failure of the application to properly validate user-supplied input in the 'memberlist.php' script. A remote attacker could create a specially crafted URL link to the 'memberlist.php' script containing malicious script code in the 'what' variable, 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.
