This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the context of an affected site. 2) The application stores database backups in directories with predictable names, which can be exploited to disclose sensitive data. 3) The application allows the upload of files with arbitrary extensions to a folder inside the web root when uploading avatars. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a malicious PHP script. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires the permission to edit own profile (not granted by default) or other users' profiles (granted by predefined permission profiles #3 and #4). The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.8.12. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: No official solution is currently available.
