Description:
Aliaksandr Hartsuyeu has discovered a vulnerability in Chipmunk GuestBook, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.
Input passed to the homepage field when signing the guestbook 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 guestbook entry is viewed.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.4. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
Provided and/or discovered by:
