Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in action_admin/member.php in Invision Power Board (IPB) 2.1.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a reference to a script in the avatar setting, which can be leveraged for a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attack involving forced SQL execution by an admin.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue affects legacy Invision Power Board installations. An authenticated forum user could place script or HTML through the avatar setting, causing malicious code to run for an administrator and potentially force an admin action involving SQL execution. Exposure is most likely on old, internet-facing Invision Power Board 2.1.7 or earlier forums where users can authenticate and configure avatars. Treat as urgent if any affected IPB forum remains online. The risk is concentrated in obsolete community software where a normal user account could help trigger administrator-side compromise. Mitigation focus: Identify any Invision Power Board 2.1.7 or earlier deployments.; Check Invision vendor guidance for the fixed version or official workaround.; Restrict or disable avatar changes until remediation is confirmed..
