DESCRIPTION:
$um$id has reported a vulnerability in SMBCMS, which can be exploited
by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed to the "text" parameter in the site search feature isn't
properly sanitised before being returned to users. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.

Successful exploitation requires that the site search feature has
been configured to display the search keyword together with the
search results.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 2.1. Other versions
may also be affected.

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