DESCRIPTION:
Gjoko Krstic has discovered a vulnerability in the Search plugin for
Hotaru CMS, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed to the "search" parameter in 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 vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.3. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Gjoko 'LiquidWorm' Krstic, Zero Science Lab.
