Vulnerability : Cross Site Scripting
Status : Author has been notified

- - - - Description
vBulletin Bulletin Board derivatives contain a security bug
that may lead to disclosure of private informations due to a
cross site scripting attack.
This vulnerability may enable an attacker to transmit sensitive
informations like 'encrypted' passwords, user identification
numbers or forum passwords to another server.
Currently, we will refrain from publishing proof of concept
information to mitigate the impact of this vulnerability.

an attack is then able to send sensitive informations (like
cookies) to a foreign server.

<input type="hidden" name="reg_site"
value="<SCRIPT><!-- EVIL CODE //--></SCRIPT>"/>
<input type="text" name="email" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Show my cookies" />
