More Details
=============
We at MajorSecurity have discovered some vulnerabilities in Conpresso
CMS v4.1.1, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks. Input passed directly to the "q" and
"rubric" parameters in "index.php" is not properly sanitised before
being stored and returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of
an affected site.
Solution
=============
The vendor released a patch which fixes the issues. Download version
4.1.2 to make sure your conpresso cms installation is secured.
We would like to thank Thomas Walter of the Conpresso CMS development
team for the professional communication.
