This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is viewed. 2) It is possible to access admin/options.php without proper authentication. In combination with vulnerability #1 this can e.g. be exploited by an unauthenticated person to conduct script insertion attacks. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 0.9. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and restrict access to the "admin" directory e.g. with an ".htaccess" file.
