Description: An input validation vulnerability was reported in phpBB in 'profile.php'. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Cheng Peng Su reported that the 'profile.php' script does not properly validate user-supplied input in the 'avatarselect' variable with the 'Show Gallery' function.
A remote user can create a specially crafted POST request that, when submitted 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 phpBB 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.

Impact: A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site running the phpBB 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.
