Input passed via the "dlsearch" parameter to index.php (when "page_id" is set to the id of the download page) 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 3.3.5.7. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Update to version 3.3.5.9.
