Vuln. description:

Helm Web Hosting Control Panel contains a flaw that allows a remote cross
site scripting attack. This flaw exists because input passed to
"txtDomainName" parameter in "domains.asp" and in helm online help input
passed to "SearchText","UserLevel" parameters in "default.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.

/interfaces/standard/domains.asp?txtDomainName=[XSS]
/helmonlinehelp/default.asp?categoryID=24&UserLevel=2&SearchText=[XSS]
/helmonlinehelp/default.asp?categoryID=24&UserLevel=[XSS]

Successful exploitation with any(user/reseller/admin) level access.

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