DESCRIPTION:
High-Tech Bridge SA has discovered a vulnerability in miniBB, which
can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion
attacks.

Input passed via the "[url]" BBcode tag when posting a message is not
properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert
arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious
data is being viewed.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.5. Other versions may
also be affected.

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