Discussion
Collabtive Cross Site Scripting and HTML Injection Vulnerabilities
Collabtive is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities and an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.
Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to 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.
Collabtive 0.65 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.

Exploit / POC
Collabtive Cross Site Scripting and HTML Injection Vulnerabilities
Attackers can use a browser to exploit these issues. To exploit a cross-site scripting vulnerability, an attacker must entice an unsuspecting user to follow a malicious URI.
HTML-Injection:
Enter the value <script>alert(/SV/)</script> in the username field under the "change username" functionality.
Cross-site scripting:
The following example URIs are available:
http://www.example.com/manageajax.php?action=newcal&y=<script>alert(/XSS/)</script>
