Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions PHPFreeNews versions 1.40 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML, which can lead to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This is possible via the NewsMode parameter to NewsCategoryForm.php, or the Match or NewsMode parameter to SearchResults.php.
