DESCRIPTION:
Night_Warrior has discovered a vulnerability in Phpclanwebsite, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion
attacks.

Input passed to the "img" BBcode tag when posting a message isn't
properly sanitised and verified before being used. This can be
exploited to inject arbitrary script code, which will be executed in
a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the
malicious message is viewed with the Microsoft Internet Explorer
browser.

Example:
[img]javascript:[code][/img]

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.23.1. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and
verified.
