Posted:  22 May 2005 10:09
There was a potential security vulnerability in member.php where a registered user could inject javascript and get a user's cookie. Depending on seo-board_options settings ($shaprefix), a hacker may manage to brute force recover the password of a logged user who browses the member profile of the hacker.

Bug is fixed now. You can download the seo-board zip file and upgrade the member.php (one line of code was added). I recommend updating member.php.

Thanks to sujokid for pointing this bug out.

Was it this?

$member_bio = format_html($member_bio);

It encodes html tags, so that a user cannot put html/javascript in the text.
