SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION
####################

Ultimate PHP Board is completely text based making it easy for anybody who has access to PHP can run a message board of their own without the need for MySQL.

####################################
DESCRIPTION FOR CROSS SITE SCRIPTING
####################################

myUPB is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. 
This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.

myUPB 2.2.7 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
