###############################################

rwAuction Pro contains a flaw that allows a remote Cross-Site Scripting
attacks.Input passed to the "search","show","searchtype","catid","searchtxt"
parameter in "search.asp" isn't properly sanitised before being returned to
the user.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.

Note: Input in "searchtxt" parameter was vuln. already in rwAuction
Pro 4.xand still unpatched in
5.0 version.
