site scripting flaws." );

"The remote version of XOOPS is vulnerable to several cross-site
scripting attacks.  An attacker can exploit it using the 'terme' and

respectively.  This can be used to take advantage of the trust between
a client and server allowing the malicious user to execute malicious
JavaScript on the client's machine." );
