Checks for BBCode IMG tag script injection vulnerability in PHP-Fusion

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is prone to cross-
site scripting attacks.

sufficiently sanitize Javascript code. Specifically, a possible hacker can
inject Javascript code that bypasses the filters in 'fusion_core.php'
by HTML-encoding it. This code will then be executed in the context
of a user's browser when he views the malicious BBcode on the remote
host.
