"The remote host is running Cerberus Support Center, a customer support
portal written in PHP. 

The installed version of Cerberus Support Center is affected by a
cross-site scripting flaw due to its failure to sanitize input to the
'kb_ask' parameter of the 'index.php' script before using it in
dynamically-generated web pages.  In addition, it reportedly fails to
sanitize input to the 'file_id' parameter of the 'attachment_send.php'
script before using it in database queries. 

Exploitation of the SQL injection vulnerability requires that an
attacker first authenticate while the cross-site scripting issue may
be possible without authentication, depending on the application's
configuration." );
