According to its version number, the MyBB application hosted on the remote web server is prior to 1.6.15. It is, therefore, potentially affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability in video MyCode due to improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary script code within the context of the user’s browser.
