DESCRIPTION:
Aung Khant has discovered a vulnerability in Jcow, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Input passed via the "g" parameter to index.php (when "p" is set to
"member/signup") 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 4.2.1. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.3.1ce.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
