DESCRIPTION:
r0t has reported two vulnerabilities in VCD-db, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.
Input passed to the "batch" parameter in "index.php" and the "title"
parameter when performing a detailed search 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.
It is also possible to disclose the full path to "search.php" by
accessing it with an invalid "by" parameter.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 0.98 and prior.
Other versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
