The remote host is running a version of phpBB older than 2.0.10.

phpBB contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate user-supplied input in the ‘search_author’ parameter.

This version is also vulnerable to an HTTP response splitting attack that permits the injection of CRLF characters in the HTTP headers.
