In total, the developers revealed, more than 270 vulnerabilities were found and patched in MyBB since the release of version 1.0 in 2005.

"A rundown of recently remediated weaknesses suggest that MyBB forums with a common configuration, running on version 1.8.20 or older, can be breached with minimal interaction of unsuspecting forum administrators, through the exploitation of an XSS & Code Injection weakness," MyBB developers explained.
