DESCRIPTION:
James Bercegay has reported two vulnerabilities in Invision Power
Board, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed to the "highlite" isn't properly sanitised before
being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of a vulnerable site.

2) Input passed to a certain cookie ID parameter in "login.php" isn't
properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 2.0.3 and prior.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.0.4.
