I got an email saying that there are vulenerabilities with the script. I am running the lastest version and don't believe there claim. Just wanted you to see their claim and to let me know if it is an issue. I am including the person information if you wish to ask questions from them. Thanks for a great product and look forward to your answer.
Email----
As we tested your site, it turns out that there are field in your web site pages from which some can execute scripts.
These are the steps we took to discover these vulenerabilities:
From the Contact Us page, we manipulated the source code to show a hidden input field (name = required, value = email). In that field, we inserted a harmless script: alert(document.domain)
We then clicked submit and the script was executed (you should see a small alert window with the domain name).
We found that issue in the info request page as well.
What you need to do is to make sure that all the input fields, hidden or not, are sanitized before being executed. What that means is the you
replace characters, such as < > " ' and - with their hex representation, or remove them all together so that there is no possibility of a
malicious script being executed that can compromise your customers' private information or their system.
Once you think you have sanitized the website input fields, run another scan. If all the fields are sanitized, you should get a passing scan.
Let us know if you have any further questions.

ANOTHER VULNERABILITY
ANOTHER VULNERABILITY QUESTION
I have the Classic v1.07.2 script installed and believe that it's been hacked. There was a parse error today and when I downloaded the formmail to check it, a javascript had been added with print instructions at the end pointing to nemr.ru/fgg
I obviously removed it and reinstalled a clean version. Is there a vulnerability or do I need to modify some settings?
Thanks.
It sounds like either your
It sounds like either your server/account was hacked or another script you run. PHPFormmail doesn't have the ability to read/write any files and there should be no calls that allow for code execution.
