This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site. This vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.5.0. Prior versions may also be affected. 2) Certain unspecified input is not 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 web site. SOLUTION: Update to version 3.5.1.
