Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
Synopsis :
The remote web server contains a PHP application that allows for the
disclosure of information.

registered in the affected application can exploit this flaw to run
scripts each time a forum user accesses the malicious avatar
eg,
collecting forum usage information, launching attacks against users'
systems, etc.
