Description:
r0t has discovered some vulnerabilities in Helm Web Hosting Control Panel, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed to the "txtDomainName" parameter in "domains.asp" and to the "SearchText" and "UserLevel" parameters in "<path_to_online_help>/default.asp" 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.

Exploitation is possible with any ("user", "reseller" and "admin") access level.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 3.2.10. Other version may also be affected.

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

Provided and/or discovered by:
