DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in ConPresso CMS, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Input passed via the "rubric" and "q" parameters to
mod_search/index.php 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.

Successful exploitation requires that "mod_search" is enabled in the
application.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 4.1.1. Prior versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.1.2.
