DESCRIPTION:
Amol Naik has discovered some vulnerabilities in phpMyFAQ, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Input passed via various parameters to multiple scripts 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.

Examples:

http://[host]/index.php?action=search&search=[code]
http://[host]/index.php?action=search&tagging_id=[code]
http://[host]/index.php?action=artikel&highlight=[code]
