CVE-2014-1840

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MyBB versions 1.6.12 and earlier

Description A cross-site scripting (XSS) issue exists due to improper handling of the keywords parameter in a do search action, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. This occurs when a forced SQL error message is generated.

Recommendations For MyBB versions 1.6.12 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Upload/search.php file until a patch is available. Avoid using the keywords parameter in the affected search functionality until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
