Description

TinyPHPForum contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'txt' variable upon submission to the 'action.php' script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.

Classification

Location: Remote / Network Access
Attack Type: Information Disclosure, Input Manipulation
Impact: Loss of Integrity
Solution: Discontinued Product
Exploit: Exploit Public
Disclosure: OSVDB Verified
OSVDB: Web Related

Solution

The vendor has discontinued this product and therefore has no patch or upgrade that mitigates this problem. It is recommended that an alternate software package be used in its place.
