Hello,

I'm approaching the forumn after I had contacted the security@dnnsoftware but its been almost a month and we need to do something about this vulnerability. Please have a look at this.
We have found one security issue realted to reflected XSS on the below URL
https://demo.mysite.com/t...ome/ctl/SendPassword

Risk: This module tries to inject new statements into th HTML markup, In an XSS attack, an attacker mayexecute any ariberty JavaScript in the origin of the afftected application.

ex: (post javascript text in the email filed)
We can insert the below text in the email/username field and it will show the javascript and execute after POST (Send Request Link)

alert(1) (removed script tag as not letting me post here)
