SOFTWARE:
Beehive Forum 0.x

DESCRIPTION:
trueend5 has discovered some vulnerabilities in Beehive Forum, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion
attacks.

Input passed to the "name" and "description" fields when adding a
link and the "comment" field when commenting on a link isn't 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 vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 0.6.2. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
