Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Phorum versions prior to 5.2.17

Description The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the real name parameter in the control.php file of the controlcenter. This can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Recommendations For versions prior to 5.2.17, update to version 5.2.17 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the control.php file in the controlcenter to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the real name parameter in the affected controlcenter until the issue is resolved.
