Description:
PsychoStats is a statistics generator for games. Currently there is support
for a handful of Half-Life "MODs" including Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat,
and Natural Selection. PsychoStats gathers statistics from the log files
that
game servers create by reading through the logs and then calculating
detailed
statistics for players, maps, weapons and clans. These detailed statistics
are stored in a MySQL database which are then viewed online from your
website
using a set of PHP web pages.
Cross Site Scripting:
Cross site scripting exists in Jason Morriss PsychoStats. This vulnerability
exists due to user supplied input not being checked properly. Below is an
example.

in a victim's browser.
Solution:

addressing the
issue soon and has released an updated version of the software.
