Cross-Site Scripting in Vanilla Forums

Vanilla Forums is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to implement proper input validation and output encoding to sanitize user-supplied data before displaying it on web pages. Additionally, applying security patches or updates provided by the vendor can help prevent such vulnerabilities.
