tag_summary = "The remote web server contains a PHP script that is prone to
cross-site scripting attacks. 

Description :

The version of CuteNews installed on the remote host is vulnerable to
a cross-site-scripting (XSS) attack.  An attacker, exploiting this
flaw, would need to be able to coerce a user to browse to a
purposefully malicious URI.  Upon successful exploitation, the
attacker would be able to run code within the web-browser in the
security context of the CuteNews server.";
