4) Description of Vulnerability

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in e107, which can be
exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.

Input passed via the "content_heading" parameter to 
107_plugins/content/content_manager.php while creating new content is
not properly sanitised before being displayed to the user. This can be
exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be

Successful exploitation requires authentication and that the Content
Management plugin is enabled.
