Private Message System Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
Private Message System is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. This issue may be exploited by creating a malicious link to a site hosting the software with hostile HTML and script code embedded in URI parameters. If the link is followed, the attacker-supplied code may be rendered in the victim user's browser. Possible consequences of exploitation include theft of cookie-based authentication credentials or using the issue as an attack vector to exploit latent web browser security flaws.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied data does not contain malicious code.
