Description

Geeklog Forum Plugin contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate HTML parameters such as "img src" upon submission to the application. This could allow a user to send a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary code on the server leading to a loss of integrity. The Forum Plugin does not get installed by default during a Geeklog installation. Further, The IMG tag must explicitly be added to the Geeklog configuration file under the allowed HTML tags for this issue to manifest.
