XMB Forum Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

XMB Forum fails to adequately filter script code from URL parameters, making it prone to cross-site scripting attacks. Attacker-supplied script code may be included in a malicious link to a specific XMB Forum script. This may enable a remote attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials from legitimate users of a host running XMB Forum.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied data is properly sanitized before being used in the application.
