Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in MyBulletinBoard (MyBB), which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting, script insertion and SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the "Your Website URL", "AIM Screen Name", "MSN ID", and "Yahoo ID" fields when updating a user profile is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which is executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious user data is viewed.

2) Some input is not properly sanitised before being returned to users. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site.

Examples:
http://[host]/misc.php?action=syndication&forums[0]=[code]
http://[host]/misc.php?action=syndication&forums[0]=0&version[code]
http://[host]/misc.php?action=syndication&limit=[code]

http://[host]/printthread.php?tid=1[code]

3) Some input is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Examples:
http://[host]/calendar.php?action=event&eid=[code]
http://[host]/online.php?pidsql=)[code]
