Description:
Susam Pal has reported a vulnerability in Community Architect Guestbook, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.

Some input passed to "cgi-bin/guest" 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 user data is viewed via "fsguestbook.html".

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