Post title XSS issue

Hi guys,

HTML is not being escaped in post titles. (Thread titles are fine.)

I noticed this by accident in someone else's new thread. I see you've been testing HTML entities, so it might just have crept in from recent changes or something.

I've posted a JS injection demo in the outhouse (pops up 2 alerts at present).

This could be used to hijack accounts. I'd suggest you just find the code that outputs post titles and run it through htmlspecialchars() if there isn't already a vB formatting function it should be going through.
