Simple Machine SMF Shoutbox Module 'sboxDB.php' HTML Injection Vulnerability

SMF Shoutbox is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.

Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would execute in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.

SMF Shoutbox 1.16b is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
