Vuln. Description:
Portal Pack contains a flaws that allows a remote cross site scripting
attacks.
Those flaws exists because input passed to "sort_order" parameter in
"calendar/Visitor.cgi" and "news/NsVisitor.cgi" and input passed to"q"
parameter in "search/search.cgi" and input passed to "cat_id" parameter in
"classifieds/viewcat.cgi" 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.

/cgi-bin/calendar/Visitor.cgi?job=view_event&eventNo=
0&sort_order=[XSS]
/cgi-bin/news/NsVisitor.cgi?job=view_article&articleNo=
0&sort_order=[XSS]
/cgi-bin/search/search.cgi?q=[XSS]
/cgi-bin/classifieds/viewcat.cgi?cat_id=[XSS]
