Description: A vulnerability was reported in Comment Board. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
It is reported that the software does not filter HTML from the user-supplied Topic Title, Name and Message fields. A remote user can submit a specially crafted message that, when viewed by a target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the Comment Board software and will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
The vendor has reportedly been notified.
Impact: A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site running the Comment Board software, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the target user.
Solution: No solution was available at the time of this entry.
