"According to its banner, the version of Invision Power Board on the
remote host suffers from multiple vulnerabilities :

  - SQL Injection Vulnerability
    The application fails to sanitize user-input supplied 
    through the 'pass_hash' cookie in the 'sources/login.php'
    script, which can be exploited to affect database
    queries, potentially revealing sensitive information.

  - Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
    An attacker can pass arbitrary HTML and script code 
    through the 'highlite' parameter of the 
    'sources/search.php' and 'sources/topics.php' scripts." );
