Simple Machines Forum '[url]' Tag HTML Injection Vulnerability
29 Mar. 2012
Summary
Simple Machines Forum is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.
Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.
