Neo Security Team reports:

If we specify a variable in the html code (any type: hidden, text, radio, check, etc) with the name allowhtml, allowbbcode or allowsmilies, is going to be on the html, bbcode and smilies in our signature.

This is a low risk vulnerability that allows users to bypass forum-wide configuration.
