DESCRIPTION:
Kiki has discovered a vulnerability in OZJournals, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

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

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.2. Other versions
may also be affected.

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