Vuln. Description:

SKForum contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting
attack. This flaw exists because input passed to "areaID" "time"
"userID" paremeters isn't properly sanitised before being returned to
the user.
This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would
execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust
relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of
integrity.

examples:

/area.View.action?areaID=[XSS]
/planning.View.action?time=[XSS]
/user.View.action?userID=[XSS]

###############################################
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
