Description:
DreamLord has reported two vulnerabilities in MyNews, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed to the "hash" and "page" parameters in "mynews.inc.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 vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.6.2. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 1.6.4, which fixes the "page" parameter.
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
