phpBB Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
phpBB is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to have arbitrary script code executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user. This may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials as well as other attacks.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied data does not contain malicious code.
