Security Updates are released for  Fox and FoxForum,
fixing a javascript injection vulnerability.

Details:
All input values from php $_POST or $_GET are now filtered with
htmlspecialchars(stripmagic($value),ENT_NOQUOTES);

I added the filter htmlspecialchars.
Wthout this I could inject javascript code on my local machine with a
post. This did not happen on my hosting server, so I do not know the
extent of the danger for javascript injection attacks.

Still I advise anyone using Fox or FoxForum to upgrade.
