Vanilla Forums and Vanilla Forum Tagging Plug-In HTML Injection Vulnerability

Vanilla Forums and Vanilla Forum Tagging Plug-In are prone to an HTML Injection vulnerability because it fails to sanitize user-supplied input.

Attacker-supplied HTML or JavaScript code can run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.

Vanilla Forums 2.0.18.4 and Vanilla Forum Tagging Plug-In Enhanced 1.0.1 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
