| Detailed Description |
A version of MercuryBoard which is older than version 1.1.3 is detected as installed on the host. MercuryBoard is a message board system written in PHP. MercuryBoard versions prior to 1.1.3 are vulnerable to multiple input validation vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.
1) Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
2) Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site.
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the MercuryBoard installed on the remote Web server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
