Description

Cross-site scripting occurs on POST where the "pagetitle" & "subheader" variables don't properly sanitize input upon submission to the /admin/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.
