Description

UBB.threads contains a flaw that allows a remote HTTP response splitting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'Cat' variable upon submission to the 'toggleshow.php' script. This could allow an attacker to create a specially crafted URL that would present a fake web page to a user, steal session cookies, or execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
