DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in GoAhead Webserver, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.
Input passed to the "name" and "address" parameters in
goform/formTest is not properly sanitised before being returned to
the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script
code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.5. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
