## Technical details

UBB.threads (confirmed in version 7.7.5 and likely earlier) is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) because the application improperly sanitizes user-supplied input in certain HTTP requests. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by convincing a user to click a malicious URL containing a crafted payload. If successful, the attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session, potentially leading to session hijacking or unauthorized actions. As of the advisory date, the vendor has not responded to disclosure attempts, and no patch has been confirmed.
