Description:
V[i]RuS has discovered a vulnerability in Invision Power Board, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.
The vulnerability is caused due to Invision Power Board allowing a user to upload HTML and TXT attachments containing JavaScript. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected web site when a HTML or TXT attachment is viewed.
Successful exploitation requires that the user is tricked into clicking on a HTML or TXT attachment when using the Internet Explorer browser.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.0.4 and also reported in version 1.0.3 and 2.1.0. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Apply patch for version 2.0.4 and 2.1.0.
