Cross site scripting: The filtering script for the discussion board doesnt
filter iframe,

img, or object. All of which can take advantage of xss and because of the
way my schoo was

setup this lead to full access to their email, and account information.

Solution: The easiest way would be to just disallow iframe,img,and object
tags or html tags

at all.

Credits: Credits goto http://hackthissite.org. It provided a nice, open,
legal environment

for me to try new things and learn from those who know. A place where you
are not

reprimanded even if u deface a page or two. A place where I started with no
knowledge and

in less than a year found new vulnerabilities of my own. Thank you
http://hackthissite.org.

Lab rats: The Nick's, Shrinidhi, Charbel and most importantly to Halley, you
give me the

strength and courage to do all that I do, without you I am nothing. Thank
you sweetheart.

Exploit: This is exploited using iframe,img, or object tags to redirect you
to a maliscious

site.
