4.3

Medium

Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Phorum versions 5.0.17a and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. This can be achieved via the username parameter to "register.php" or a signature of a logged-in user in "My Control Center," which is not properly handled by "control.php".

Recommendations For Phorum versions 5.0.17a and earlier, update to a version later than 5.0.17a to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the "register.php" and "control.php" files until a patch is available. Avoid using the username parameter in the affected "register.php" endpoint until the issue is resolved.
