Description

Invision Power Board contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not properly validate the 'df' variable in a "preg_replace()" call in the action_public/moderate.php script. This could allow a user to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code via the "e" pattern modifier, leading to a loss of integrity.
