DESCRIPTION:
r0t has reported a vulnerability in Web+Shop, which can be exploited
by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed to the "deptname" parameter 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.

Examples:
https://[host]/cgi-bin/webplus.exe?script=/webpshop/department.wml&deptid=3&deptname=[code]
https://[host]/cgi-bin/webplus.exe?script=/webpshop/group.wml&deptid=1&deptname=[code]

The vulnerability has been reported in version 5.0. Other versions
may also be affected.
