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

1) Input passed to the "color" parameter in
pivotx/includes/blogroll.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.

2) Input passed to the "src" parameter in
pivotx/includes/timwrapper.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.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 2.2.0. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.2.2.
