DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in PluXml, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks
and disclose potentially sensitive information.

1) Input passed via the "default_lang" POST parameter to
update/index.php is not properly verified before being used to
include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from
local or external resources via directory traversal attacks.

2) Certain input related to file update 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 reported in versions prior to 5.1.6.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.1.6.
