(phpBB: XSS Vulnerability)

    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 :

    There are no known workarounds at this time.");
