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) The security issue is caused due to user credentials being stored in the "mimic2.dat" file inside the web root. This can be exploited to disclose the administrator's password. The vulnerability and the security issue have been reported in build #086 and prior. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and move the "mimic2.dat" file out of the web root.
