According to this Exploit there is still no official answer from PHPBB.
Because of that, I just want to post my personal little version of
bugfixing this problem, with which you can obviate attacks on Users who
use IE, but you will loose the functionality of [url]-Tags.

#
#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------
#
/templates/$template/bbcode.tpl

#
#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
<!-- BEGIN url --><a href="{URL}" target="_blank"
class="postlink">{DESCRIPTION}</a><!-- END url -->

#
#-----[ SUBSTITUTE ]------------------------------------
#

//<!-- BEGIN url --><a href="{URL}" target="_blank"
class="postlink">{DESCRIPTION}</a><!-- END url -->
<!-- BEGIN url -->Function currently disabled<!-- END url -->

#
#-----[ SAVE FILE ]------------------------------------
#
EOF

I propose to call this steps off after PHPBB has released an official
bugfix.
