Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in MyBB, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks, and manipulate certain information.

1) Input passed via the "[url]" tag isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

2) An error caused due to the archive/index.php script not defining "KILL_GLOBALS" can be exploited to overwrite arbitrary variables.

This can further be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

3) An unspecified error can be exploited to manipulate user groups.

4) Some unspecified input isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in versions 1.0 PR 2 through 1.1.4.

Solution:
Update to version 1.1.5.
