Description Michael Harrison 2012-02-02 21:34:28 UTC

Input passed via the Organization field when registering or editing a user is not properly sanitized before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.1.1. Other versions may also be affected.
