CRITICAL:

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Kshop 2.x (module for Xoops)
http://secunia.com/product/13841/

DESCRIPTION:
Lostmon has discovered a vulnerability in the Kshop module for Xoops,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting attacks.

Input passed to the "search" parameter in kshop_search.php is not
properly sanitised before being 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.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.22. Other versions may
also be affected.

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