More Details
=============

We at MajorSecurity have discovered some vulnerabilities in Conpresso CMS 
v4.1.1, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site 
scripting attacks. Input passed via the "rubric" and "q" parameters to 
mod_search/index.php 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.
Successful exploitation requires that "mod_search" is enabled in the 
application.
Solution
=============
The vendor released a patch which fixes the issues. Download version 4.1.2 to 
make sure your conpresso cms installation is secured. We would like to thank 
Thomas Walter of the Conpresso CMS development team for the professional 
communication.
