Description

MODx contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate 'search', 'a', 'messagesubject' and 'messagebody' parameters upon submission to the manager/index.php script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
