Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in PunBB, where one has an unknown impact and the other can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed via the "forgotten e-mail" feature isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

2) A potential code inclusion vulnerability in the user language selection has an unknown impact.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.2.7. Prior versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Update to version 1.2.8.
