Unknown · Wwwthreads · CVE-2006-5059
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
WWWthreads versions 5.4.2 and earlier
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the `Cat` parameter to various API endpoints, including "dosearch.php", "postlist.php", "showmembers.php", "faq english.php", "online.php", "login.php", "newuser.php", "wwwthreads.php", "search.php". This can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
