PHPBB2 Plus 1.5 - 'Portal.php' Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/13151/info

phpBB2 Plus is affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. These issues are due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage these issues to have arbitrary script code executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user. This may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials as well as other attacks.

These issues affect phpBB2 Plus version 1.52 and earlier.
