DESCRIPTION:
Francesco "aScii" Ongaro has reported some vulnerabilities in
FreeWebStat, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
script insertion attacks.

Some input isn't properly sanitised before being used. This can be
exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be
executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site
when the malicious user data is viewed.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.0 rev37. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
