Vuln. Description:

ssCMS contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This
flaw exists because input passed to "keywords" paremter in "search.aspx"
isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user.
This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute
arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the
browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.

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