According to its version number, the remote host is running a version of PHP-Fusion that reportedly does not sufficiently sanitize input passed in nested ‘url’ BBcode tags before using it in a post. An attacker may be able to exploit this flaw to cause arbitrary script and HTML code to be executed in the context of a user’s browser when viewing the malicious BBcode on the remote host.
