Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions vBShout module versions prior to 6.0.6

Description The issue concerns multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Shout Reports feature of the vBShout module. These vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML. Specifically, the reportreason parameter in the "actions/doreport.php" endpoint and the modnotes parameter in the "actions/updatereport.php" endpoint are vulnerable.

Recommendations For versions prior to 6.0.6, update to version 6.0.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the actions/doreport.php and actions/updatereport.php endpoints to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the reportreason and modnotes parameters in these endpoints until the issue is resolved.
