Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in NPDS REvolution, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
and SQL injection attacks.

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.

3) Input passed via arbitrary parameters to various 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.
