cross-site scripting attack." );

"The version of Burning Board or Burning Board Lite installed on the
remote host may be prone to cross-site scripting attacks due to its
failure to properly sanitize input passed to the 'folderid' parameter
of the 'pms.php' script.  An attacker may be able to exploit this flaw
to cause arbitrary HTML and script code to be run in a user's browser
within the context of the affected website." );
