benjilenoob has reported some vulnerabilities in Invision Power
Board, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks.

Some input passed in the administration interface isn't properly
sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to
execute arbitrary HTML and script code in an administrator's browser
session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 2.1. Other versions
may also be affected.

It has also been reported that administrators can execute arbitrary
PHP scripts in the upload directory via the "Task Manager". This has
been reported in version 2.0.1. Other versions may also be affected.
