DESCRIPTION:
High-Tech Bridge SA has reported a vulnerability in Serendipity,
which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion
attacks.

Input passed via unspecified parameters is not properly sanitised in
include/functions_config.inc.php before being used. This can be
exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be
executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site
when the malicious data is being viewed.

Successful exploitation requires the "Remember me" feature to be
enabled.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 1.5.4.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.5.4.
