This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. 2) Input passed via the "[img]" BBCode tag in the "message" parameter to pmlite.php is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.5.1a. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Update to version 2.5.3.
