Is this something to worry about? I get the same result in my forum and I am using an older version.

I also just found this:

Any fix?

"plugin Rss Remote File Inclusion Vulnerability" from your second post was fixed in RSS add-on a long time ago.

Regarding the first XSS bug - this affects only Memberlist add-on and nothing else, and I wouldn't say there is something critical because such approach doesn't affect the database anyway. However I know there are some cases when it's possible to steal cookie that way and perform other impossible tasks, so I've just fixed the affected memberlist add-on with the following line:

$uniV=$memberSearchVal=htmlspecialchars($memberSearchVal, ENT_QUOTES);

which is put instead of

$uniV=htmlspecialchars($memberSearchVal, ENT_QUOTES);

The package in downloads is fixed as well.

Thank you for mentioning.
