Minibb 2.2a XSS Vulnerability

Description: miniBB is a bulletin board application. The application is exposed to a cross-site scripting issue because it fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the "whatus" parameter of the "bb_admin" script. miniBB version 2.2a is affected.

This issue won't work because

1) admin's script won't pass you to the area until you sign-in as admin (except of course you as admin will hack your forum - but why you should do this :)

2) admin's script should be renamed for security reasons and it's not always named as bb_admin.php.

Anyway we will take it into attention and fix it in the next release when we are ready to go. Thanks.
