Description

Geeklog contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'conf_group', 'subgroup' and 'sub_group' parameters upon submission to the 'admin/configuration.php' script. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
