Description:
trueend5 has discovered some vulnerabilities in Beehive Forum, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.
Input passed to the "name" and "description" fields when adding a link and the "comment" field when commenting on a link isn't properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious user data is viewed.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 0.6.2. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
