################################################
Advisory Name:New phpBB ViewTopic.php Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
Release Date: Feb 29,2004 
Application: phpBB 
Platform: PHP
Version Affected: the lastest version
Vendor URL: http://www.phpbb.com/
Discover: Cheng Peng Su(apple_soup_at_msn.com)

Details:
    This vuln is similar to Arab VieruZ's advisory 'XSS bug in phpBB',this time the problem is not in 'highlight' ,but 
in 'postorder'.we can inject HTML code,such code could be used to steal cookie information.

Proof of Concept:
     If there is a topic at 
  http://site/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=123456
  this page can be also viewed at
  http://site/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=123456&postorder=asc
  then this page will contain code like below:
  <a class="maintitle" href="viewtopic.php?t=176994&amp;start=0&amp;postdays=0&amp;postorder=asc&amp;highlight=">[Topic 
Title]</a>.
  phpBB doesn't filter out illegal characters from 'postorder',so we can inject HTML code after 'postorder='.

Exploit:
