Quack Chat Cross-Site Scripting and Script Insertion Vulnerabilities

Description

Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Quack Chat, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and script insertion attacks.
1) Input passed to the "page" parameter in qc_admin/index.php (when "p" is set to "history") is not 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.
2) Input passed via the "name" parameter to qchat.php when joining a chat session is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed within the history section.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.0.
