Description:
Simon MOREL has reported a vulnerability in betaboard, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.

Input passed to the "FormVal_profile" parameter in editprofile.php 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 profile is viewed.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 0.1. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
