Description:
Pete Foster has reported a vulnerability in Snitz Forums 2000, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to missing validation of input passed in the "Email" field in "register.asp" and can be exploited to include arbitrary HTML or script code as an email address.
Successful exploitation executes the code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site, when a link is followed in order to send an email to a malicious user.
The vulnerability has been reported in versions 3.4.04 and 3.4.03. Prior versions may also be affected.
