The remote host is running vBulletin, a web based bulletin board system
written in PHP.
The remote version of this software seems to be prior or equal to version 2.2.9.
These versions are vulnerable to a cross-site scripting issue,
due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied
URI input.
As a result of this vulnerability, it is possible for a remote attacker
to create a malicious link containing script code that will be executed
in the browser of an unsuspecting user when followed.
This may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials
as well as other attacks.
