MyBB Multiple Variable SQL Injection and Cross Site Scripting Issues


Description   Two vulnerabilities were identified in MyBB (MyBulletinBoard), which could be exploited by malicious people to perform SQL injection or cross site scripting attacks.
The first issue is due to an input validation error in the "managegroup.php" script that does not properly validate the "gid" parameter, which could be exploited by attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands or cause malicious scripting code to be executed by the user's browser.
The second flaw is due to an input validation error in the "private.php" script that does not properly validate the array index of the "folder" parameter, which could be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
