Discussion

FlexBB Multiple HTML Injection Vulnerabilities

FlexBB is prone to multiple HTML-injection vulnerabilities; the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.

Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would be executed in the context of the affected website, potentially allowing an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials. An attacker could also exploit this issue to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.

Versions 0.5.7 BETA and prior are vulnerable.
