Input passed to the "search" parameter in 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. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.3. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Gjoko 'LiquidWorm' Krstic, Zero Science Lab.
