DESCRIPTION:
Thomas Pollet has discovered a vulnerability in DEV web management
system, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script
insertion attacks.

Input passed to the "City/Region" field when registering for an
account isn't properly sanitised before being used. This can be
exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be
executed in an administrator's browser session in context of an
affected site when the malicious user data is viewed.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.5. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
