The version of Burning Board or Burning Board Lite installed on the remote host may be prone to cross-site scripting attacks due to its failure to properly sanitize input passed to the ‘folderid’ parameter of the ‘pms.php’ script. An attacker may be able to exploit this flaw to cause arbitrary HTML and script code to be run in a user’s browser within the context of the affected website.
