Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is susceptible
to multiple flaws.

Description :

The installed version of MyBB fails to validate user input to a large
number of parameters and scripts before using it in database queries
and dynamically-generated web pages. If PHP's 'register_globals'
setting is enabled, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to
leverage these issues to conduct SQL injection and cross-site
scripting attacks against the affected application.
