Description:
Kamil 'K3' Sienicki has discovered a vulnerability in OpenFAQ, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.
Input passed to the "q" parameter in submit.php isn't properly sanitised before being saved. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in an administrative user's browser session in context of an affected website when a malicious question entry is viewed.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 0.4.0. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
