DESCRIPTION:
A weakness has been reported in vBulletin, which can be exploited by
malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks.
Input passed via the "url" parameter to login.php (when "do" is set
to "lostpw") is not properly verified before being used to redirect
users. This can be exploited to redirect a user to an arbitrary
website e.g. when a user clicks a specially crafted link to the
affected script hosted on a trusted domain.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Robert Gilbert, HALOCK Security Labs.
