Description

 vBulletin contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate unspecified variables upon submission to the unspecified script. This could allow a user to upload an attachment with a .pdf extension that contains script code, 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.
