Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Exponent CMS, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.

Successful exploitation requires that the "Allow Registration?" configuration option is enabled.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 0.96.6-GA20071003 and reported in all previous versions.
