TITLE:
MyBB MYPS Plugin "username" Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37910

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37910/

DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in the MYPS plugin for MyBB,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting attacks.

Input passed to the "username" parameter in myps.php (if "action" is
set to "donate") is not properly sanitised before being returned to
the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script
code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.4.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
