DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been discovered in CMScout, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Input passed via the "search" parameter to the dynamic page of the
"Search Site" module 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
website.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.09. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
