Vulnerability Details:
User can execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the vulnerable application.

The vulnerability exists due to failure in the "/admin/admin.php" script to 
properly sanitize user-supplied input in "description" variable. Successful

application, theft of cookie-based authentication credentials, disclosure or 
modification of sensitive data.
