Discussion
phpBB XS Profile.PHP HTML Injection Vulnerability
phpBB XS is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.
Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would execute in the context of the affected website, potentially allowing an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.
This issue affects phpBB XS 2; other versions may also be affected.
