 Vulnerable: PBLang 4.65 (current) (and earlier?)  

 ---  

 General information:  

 PBLang is an international BBS-software based on 
PHP. It does not require any database but bases on a 
flatfile system. Many professional features. More 
info on the project website.  

 ---  

 Description:  

 The search.php script is vulnerable to a XSS attack 
by a remote attacker. The searched string is not 
filtered for any harmfull characters like < > and ". 
This makes it possible for an attacker to trick a 
user into going to a harmfull page and stealing a 
session.  

 ---  

 Proof Of Concept:  

 Type in the search box "&lt;script 
language="javascript">alert("Hackerlounge.com pwns 
joo");&lt;/script&gt;" and submit. An alertbox with the 
text "Hackerlounge.com pwns joo" should come up. 

 ---  

 Fix and Vendor status:  

The vendor has been notified, expect an official 
patch soon.
