Description:
Zinho has discovered some vulnerabilities in PHPOpenChat, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.
Input passed to the "title", "content", "motto", "subject" and "body" parameters in profile.php, profile_misc.php and mail.php isn't properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary script code which will get executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious input is viewed.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 3.0.0. and also reported in version 3.0.2.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
