descriptionThe remote host is running GoSmart message board, a bulletin board manager written in ASP. The remote version of this software contains multiple flaws, due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input. It is also affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability. As a result of this vulnerability, it is possible for a remote attacker to create a malicious link containing script code that will be executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user when followed. Furthermore, this version is vulnerable to SQL injection flaws that let an attacker inject arbitrary SQL commands.
