This can be exploited to e.g. create additional administrative users if a logged-in administrative user visits a specially crafted web site. 2) Input passed via the "p" parameter to cms/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 vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.0.3. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Do not browse untrusted sites or follow links from untrusted sources when being logged-in to the application.
