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

Input passed to the "shout_name" field in "shoutbox_panel.php" and
certain fields in "comments_include.php" isn't 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.

An unspecified weakness in the handling of the "srch_text" parameter
passed to "messages.php" has also been reported.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 6.00.303. Prior
versions may also be affected.
