Vuln. description:
Instructor contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack.
This flaw exists because input passed to Task field parameter in
"/MyTasks/PersonalTaskEdit.asp" 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.
