DESCRIPTION:
High-Tech Bridge SA has discovered a vulnerability in the Question
and Answer Forum plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by
malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed via the "title" parameter to index.php is not properly
sanitised in
wp-content/plugins/question-and-answer-forum/coreform.php 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 vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.2.5. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2.6.
