tag_summary = "The remote host is running vBulletin, a web based bulletin board system 
written in PHP.

The remote version of this software is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting 
issue, due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied 
URI input.

As a result of this vulnerability, it is possible for a remote attacker
to create a malicious link containing script code that will be executed 
in the browser of an unsuspecting user when followed. 

This may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials 
as well as other attacks.";
