http://secunia.com/advisories/20803/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
mvnForum 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/10650/

DESCRIPTION:
r0t has reported some vulnerabilities in mvnForum, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Input passed to the "member" and "activatecode" parameters in
activatemember 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 GA. Other
versions may also be affected.

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