Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in UseBB, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.
1) Input passed in the member list search isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
2) Some unspecified input passed related to the user date format isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.0 RC1. Prior versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 1.0 RC2.
