DESCRIPTION:

cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed to the "username" parameter in aspAdmin/editUser.asp,
aspAdmin/deleteUser.asp, and potentially other parameters and files
is not properly sanitised before being returned to an administrator.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in an
administrator's browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 6.3b1 Trial Version.
Other versions may also be affected.
