Akiva WebBoard HTML Injection Vulnerability

Akiva WebBoard is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability when handling specially crafted values of form-field parameters of the profile update page.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of a user's browser. Successful exploits can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, obtain potentially sensitive information stored on the victim's computer, and launch other attacks.

Akiva WebBoard 8.0 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
