DESCRIPTION:
Avatar Fearless has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in ElfChat,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting attacks.

Input passed via the "name", "password", "retype_password", and
"email" parameters to signup.php is not properly sanitised before
being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 5.2.1. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
No official solution is currently available.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Avatar Fearless.
