exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.

Input passed to e.g. the "Description" field when creating a "News
Item" is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be
exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which is then
executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site
when displaying LiveSearch results.

also be affected.
