Product Description
Hello and welcome!
I have found a XSS (cross site scripting) vulnerability in Dolphin (all versions 6.0.000X and 6.1 Beta) that allows a registered user to execute a script on anyone who views his/her profile. The malicious user could use it to:
1. Steal the "cookie" of the person viewing his profile, including other users AND the admin!
2. Automatically redirect anyone viewing his profile to another website.
3. Popup a fake login box and record the information entered.
The posibilities are endless because he would actually be running the script from ANOTHER server!
I notified "VictorT" and "Unoboonex" as soon as I found the flaw.. but most of us have sites that are so heavily moded that we will be unable to upgrade to the next version after this vulnerability is fixed so I put this out.
This was JUST discovered and has not hit any of the hacker forums yet.. patch NOW!
*** If you are using the FINAL version of 6.1 you DON'T need this.. if you are using the beta versions or ANY 6.000X versions you are vulnerable! ***
thanks

i've recently had people trying to sign up using code in their description, but because profiles dont go active until the email has been confirmed i've been blocking the ip address and deleting the profiles, this patch just plays safe for myself and my genuine members.

Thanks buddy for this fix... I'm not an expert in PHP, but as I read the description of this fix, this can be very serious and if you post this here, every hacker that knows Dolphin system, will know all the vulnerabilities of the community.
