| Detailed Description |
The Invision Power Board is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the 'index.php' script. Invision Power Board is a PHP-based Web forum software package, distributed by Invision Power Services, Inc.. Invision Power Board versions 1.3.1 and earlier are vulnerable to a cross-site scripting vulnerability, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input passed to the 'act' parameter to the 'index.php' script. This vulnerability could permit a remote attacker to create a malicious URI link that includes hostile HTML and script code. If this link were to be followed, the hostile code may be rendered in the web browser of the victim user. This would occur in the security context of the affected web site and may allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials or other attacks.
