We have just released new versions of our products:

We have been notified by Chabik Hatim about a vulnerability in the processing of a malformed user account activation code. Accessing the user account activation form with manipulated activation code parameters allowed HTML code to be injected into the generated error message on that page.
All WoltLab Cloud customer installations have already been updated.
