The installer of serendipity 1.3 has various Cross Site Scripting
issues. This is considered low priority, as attack scenarios are very
unlikely.

Various path fields are not escaped properly, thus filling them with
JavaScript code will lead to XSS. MySQL error messages are not
escaped, thus the database host field can also be filled with
JavaScript.

In the referrer plugin of the blog application serendipity, the
referrer string is not escaped, thus leading to a permanent XSS."
