Description

Unclassified NewsBoard contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the "Description" variable when posting a message. This could allow a user to inject arbitrary HTML and script code that would execute in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
