Discussion
MegaBBS Multiple SQL Injection and Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
MegaBBS is prone to multiple SQL-injection and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks. Attackers may also exploit these issues to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.
MegaBBS 2.2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
