Title: Sporum Forum Multiple Remote Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Sporum Forum is a web-based forum written in PHP.
Sporum Forum is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly sanitize the 'view' and 'mode' variables of 'index.cgi' and 'comments.cgi' through the 'FDefault.pm' script. Other scripts may also be vulnerable to this issue.
An attacker may leverage any of these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Sporum Forum 3.0.9 is vulnerable to these issues; other versions may be affected as well.
Affected Products:
- Sporum Forum 3.0.9

- Sporum: Vendor Homepage
