**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Simple Machines Forum (SMF) versions 1.1 Final and earlier
**Description**
A cross-site scripting (XSS) issue exists, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the contents of a file uploaded with the `image` parameter set. This can be interpreted as script by Internet Explorer's automatic type detection.
**Recommendations**
For Simple Machines Forum (SMF) versions 1.1 Final and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting the upload of files with the `image` parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
