It is possible to insert javascript code in a message and execute it.

1.) go to a phorum
2.) click on new topic
3.) enter any name
4.) enter any email
5.) enter a title in the way like this ">&lt;script&gt;alert
("Vulnerable");&lt;/script&gt;
6.) enter any text
7.) click the preview button
8.) click the send button on the top of the page

Solution:
Edit the source code to strip malicious characters from title or escape 
malicious characters using addslashes().
