DESCRIPTION:
lostmon has discovered some vulnerabilities in PHCDownload, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and
SQL injection attacks.
Input passed to the "string" parameter in search.php is not properly
sanitised before being returned to the user and before being used in
a SQL query. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and
script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected
site or to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.1.0. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
