DESCRIPTION:
Positive Technologies has reported some vulnerabilities in Phorum,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting and SQL injection attacks.

returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML
and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable
site.

2) Certain unspecified input is not properly sanitised before being
used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries
by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Use another product.
