properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to inject
arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious
user data is viewed.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.6.3. Other versions
may also be affected.
