Synopsis
=======

phpBB is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack that could allow arbitrary scripting code execution.




Background
=========

phpBB is an Open Source bulletin board package.

Affected packages
================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-apps/phpBB lt; 2.0.15 gt;= 2.0.15

Description
==========

phpBB is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting vulnerability due to improper sanitization of user supplied input. Coupled with poor validation of BBCode URLs which may be included in a forum post, an unsuspecting user may follow a posted link triggering the vulnerability.

Impact

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability could cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed in the browser of a user.

Workaround
=========

Resolution
