DESCRIPTION:
Mr.PaPaRoSSe has discovered a vulnerability in the Chennai theme for
WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed via the "s" parameter to index.php is not properly
sanitised in wp-content/themes/chennai/search.php 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 vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Mr.PaPaRoSSe
