DESCRIPTION:
benjilenoob has reported some vulnerabilities in CoolForum, which can
be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion and SQL
injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the "email" parameter in "mail.php" isn't properly
sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary
HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser
session in context of an affected site when the malicious user data
is viewed.

2) Various input passed to scripts in the "admin/" directory isn't
properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation requires user to be authenticated as an
administrator.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 0.7.2. Prior
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
1) Update to version 0.7.3.

2) Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised or
grant only trusted users administrative privileges.
