freeForum Multiple Code Injection and Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities


Description   Multiple vulnerabilities were identified in freeForum, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or scripting code.
The first issue is due to input validation errors in the "func.inc.php" script that does not properly validate the "name" and "subject" parameters, which could be exploited by attackers to cause malicious scripting code to be executed by the user's browser.
The second flaw is due to input validation errors in the "func.inc.php" script that fails to properly validate the "HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR" and "HTTP_CLIENT_IP" headers before being written to the "Data/flood.db.php" file, which could be exploited by malicious people to inject and execute arbitrary PHP commands with the privileges of the web server.
