Description:
r0t has reported some vulnerabilities in Link Up Gold, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed to the "link" parameter in "tell_friend.php" and to the "phrase[0]" parameter in "search.php" 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.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 2.5 and prior. Other versions may also be affected.

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