Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is prone to cross-

of PHP-Fusion that reportedly does not sufficiently sanitize input

attacker may be able to exploit this flaw to cause arbitrary script
and HTML code to be executed in the context of a user's browser when
he/she views the malicious BBcode on the remote host.
