Description:
Lostmon reported an input validation vulnerability in MercuryBoard. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
The 'forum.php' script does not properly validate user-supplied input in the 'f' parameter. A remote user can create a specially crafted URL that, when loaded by a target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the MercuryBoard software and will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
Some demonstration exploit URLs are provided:
http://[target]/index.php?a=forum&f='%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(document.cookie)%3C/script%3E
http://[target]/index.php?a=forum&f='><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>
The vendor was notified on February 14, 2004.

Impact:
A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site running the MercuryBoard software, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.

################################################
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
