Technical Description
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in MyBB (MyBulletinBoard), which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary scripting code.
The first flaw is due to an input validation error in the "functions_post.php" script that fails to properly validate certain "url" BBcode tags, which could be exploited by attackers to cause malicious scripting code to be executed by the user's browser.
The second vulnerability is due to an input validation error in the "admin/global.php" script that fails to properly validate the "PHP_SELF" variable, which could be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross site scripting attacks.
