Description:
Thomas Pollet has reported a vulnerability in Papoo, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.
Input passed to the username field during new account registration isn't sanitised before being stored in the user profile. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected website when the user list is viewed by the administrator.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 2.1.4. Prior versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Apply patch.
