Description

YaBB Gold contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate user input using the "shadow" BBCode formatting tag. This could allow a malicious user to submit a specially crafted message that, when viewed by a target, would execute arbitrary code in the target's browser, leading to a loss of integrity.
