DESCRIPTION:
h4xorcrew has discovered a vulnerability in Snitz Forums 2000, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Input passed to the "type" parameter in "post.asp" 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 vulnerability has been confirmed in version 3.4.05. Other
