Reported by

This issue was reported to the vendor by Christian Schneider (@cschneider4711)
following a responsible disclosure process.

Severity

Low

Exploitability

Clickjacking or social engineering required

Description

Using a specially crafted request to access the web forum software IP.Board it
is possible to execute Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. Due to a
token-based CSRF protection the actual exploitation is somewhat limited, since
attackers have to trick victims (using Clickjacking or social engineering)
into submitting an attacker supplied content.

Proof of concept

Due to the responsible disclosure process chosen and to not harm unpatched systems,
no concrete exploit code will be presented in this advisory.
