JomSocial 'com_community' Joomla! Component Status Field HTML Injection Vulnerability

The JomSocial 'com_community' Joomla! component 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 run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.
