DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in mvnForum, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and
cross-site request forgery attacks.
1) Input passed to unspecified parameters is not properly sanitised
before being returned to the user. 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 allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to perform certain administrative
actions by tricking the administrator into visiting a malicious web
site.
These vulnerabilities are reported in mvnForum version 1.2 GA and
prior.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2.1 GA.
