DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in Fork CMS, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

1) Input passed via the URL 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.

2) Input passed via the "q_widget" parameter is not properly
sanitised before being returned to the user as part of a canonical
URL. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code
in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities requires that the
victim uses a browser that does not URL-encode the request (e.g.
Internet Explorer 6).

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.1.6. Other versions
may also be affected.

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