orginal advisory:

###############################################
Vuln. Description:
phpLinks contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack.
This flaw exists because input passed to "term" paremeter in "index.php"
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.
example:
http://[victim]/phpLinks_path/index.php?logic=or&maximum
=&term=%22%3Cscript%3Ealert('r0t')%3C/script%
3E
###############################################
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
