DESCRIPTION:
r0t has discovered a vulnerability in Ideal BB.NET, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.
Input passed to certain parameters (e.g. "forumID", "boardID",
"postID", "catID", and "memberID") in the URL isn't properly
sanitised before being returned to the user in a custom error page
("/ibb/errors/Error.aspx"). This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.0.31.11 and also
reported in version 1.3. Other versions may also be affected.

sanitised before being displayed.
