DESCRIPTION:
MustLive has discovered a vulnerability in the HB-Cumulus plugin for
Habari, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed via the "tagcloud" parameter to
user/plugins/hb-cumulus/lib/tagcloud.swf (when "mode" is set to
"tags") 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 context of an affected site.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.4. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.8.
