Input passed via the "CommenterURL" parameter while posting comments is not properly sanitised before being displayed to the user. 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 being viewed. The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.3.5. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
