Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the redirect function in functions.php in MyBB (aka MyBulletinBoard) 1.4.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the url parameter in a removesubscriptions action to moderation.php, related to use of the ajax option to request a JavaScript redirect. NOTE: this can be leveraged to execute PHP code and bypass cross-site request forgery (CSRF) protection.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2008-4928 is an XSS issue in MyBB 1.4.2. A crafted request to a moderation subscription-removal flow could inject script into a JavaScript redirect. The CVE notes possible PHP code execution and CSRF protection bypass, so old public forums should treat it as more than routine XSS. Exposure is most likely on internet-facing MyBB 1.4.2 forums or legacy MyBulletinBoard deployments with moderation.php reachable. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete, so confirm against actual installed versions and vendor records. Prioritize if any public or internal legacy MyBB 1.4.2 forum remains in use. The age of the CVE lowers novelty, but the stated CSRF bypass and possible PHP execution raise business risk for exposed legacy systems. Mitigation focus: Identify any MyBB 1.4.2 or legacy MyBulletinBoard deployments.; Check MyBB vendor guidance and upgrade advisories for the fixed supported release.; Restrict exposure of obsolete forum instances until remediation is confirmed..
