Discussion
RETIRED: phpBB Unspecified Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
phpBB is prone to an unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker may leverage this issue 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.
Versions prior to phpBB 3.0.8 are vulnerable.
This BID is being retired as a duplicate of BID 45005 (phpBB 'includes/message_parser.php' HTML Injection Vulnerability).
