You should not be allowing users to use html on your forums because of things like this (removed by me, btw). There are many malicious things a user may do when html is enabled.

yeap... but 99.99% of all the vBulletin sites are deactivating HTML for that exact reason, for once, and also, there is no session details in the cookie, just sessionID, the password is hashed... the system is more secure than you think. this basic html code is known for ages though...

How do you propose vBulletin block cookies which are used to authenticate users?
