Description:
Hasadya Raed has discovered a vulnerability in Phorum, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed via the URL to admin.php is not 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.
Successful exploitation requires that the user is running a browser that does not URL-encode the request (e.g. Internet Explorer).
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.1.19. Other versions may also be affected.
