MercuryBoard is a powerful message board system dedicated to raw speed with a mixture of features, ease of use, and ease of customization coupled with expandability, and diverse language services

Mercuryboard contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate 'f' variable upon submission to the 'forun.php' script.This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.

afected versions :

1.0.x
1.1.x
