DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in the vbActivity module for
vBulletin, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct
script insertion attacks.
Input passed via the "reason" parameter to
dbtech/vbactivity/actions/nominatemedal.php and to
dbtech/vbactivity/actions/requestmedal.php is not properly sanitised
before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and
script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in
context of an affected site if malicious data is viewed.
The vulnerabilities are reported in vbActivity Pro versions prior to
3.0.1.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.0.1.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
