Description:
FraMe has reported some vulnerabilities in Greymatter, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.

Input passed to the login field and comment form isn't properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious user data is viewed.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.3. Other versions may also be affected.

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