Simple Machines Multiple HTML Injection Vulnerabilities

Simple Machines is prone to multiple HTML-injection vulnerabilities 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 application, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.

Simple Machines Forum 2.0.2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
