Input passed to the "title" field when editing submitted articles and reportedly also when commenting on articles isn't properly sanitised before being used. 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. The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.2.1. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
