DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in MyBB, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.
Input passed to the "url" parameter in member.php (when "action" is
set to "login") and "posthash" parameter in newreply.php (when
"action" is set to "do_newreply") 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 reported in versions prior to 1.6.1.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.6.1.
