in Academic Web Tools (AWT YEKTA), which can be exploited by
malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection
attacks.

3) Input passed to the "file" parameter in rss_getfile.php is not
properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited via
malicious URLs to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.
