DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in GoAhead WebServer,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script
insertion attacks.

1) Input passed via the "group" POST parameter to goform/AddGroup
(when "ok" is set to "OK") when adding a group is not properly
sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert
arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious
data is being viewed.

2) Input passed via the "url" POST parameter to goform/AddAccessLimit
(when "ok" is set to "OK") when adding an access limit is not properly
sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary
HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser
session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is
being viewed.

3) Input passed via the "user" POST parameter to goform/AddUser (when
"ok" is set to "OK") when adding a user is not properly sanitised
before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and
script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in
context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.1.8. Prior versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.5.
