vBulletin is commercial web forum software written in PHP and back-ended by a MySQL database. It will run on most Linux and Unix variants, as well as Microsoft operating systems. vBulletin does not filter script code from URL parameters. As a result, it is possible for a remote attacker to create a malicious link containing script code which will be executed in the browser of a legitimate user, in the context of the website running vBulletin. This issue may be exploited to steal cookie-based authentication credentials from legitimate users of the website running the vulnerable software.
