According to its banner, the remote version of PunBB is vulnerable to cross-site scripting flaws due to the application not validating URL and quote tags, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser

Description :

According to its banner, the remote version of PunBB is vulnerable to

able to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser,
resulting in a loss of integrity.";
