An issue was discovered in inc/class_feedgeneration.php in MyBB 1.8.17. On the forum RSS Syndication page, one can generate a URL such as http://localhost/syndication.php?fid=&type=atom1.0&limit=15. The thread titles (within title elements of the generated XML documents) aren't sanitized, leading to XSS.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- Puntuación base: 6.1
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 2.26%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 82
- Fecha de la puntuación: 7/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
💥 Exploits públicos
Hay código de explotación o plantillas de detección públicos. No es lo mismo que explotación activa confirmada (KEV), pero aumenta el riesgo: parchee con prioridad.
