Invision Power Board Multiple Vulnerabilities

Invision Power Board is prone to an information-disclosure issue and multiple HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage these issues to determine path information or to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user; this may aid in other attacks.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied data does not include malicious HTML or script code. Additionally, applications should use a secure method to store and transmit sensitive information.
