"The remote host is running Silent-Storm, a web-based forum management
software written in PHP.

There are multiple input validation flaws in the remote version of
this software :

  - There is a cross-site scripting vulnerability involving
    the 'module' parameter of the 'index.php' script.

  - The application fails to sanitize the 'mail' parameter
    to the 'profile.php' script, which could be abused to
    inject arbitrary data into the 'users.dat' database
    file and, for example, gain administrative access to
    the application."  );
