PaysiteReviewCMS "q" and "image" Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Description

Valentin Hoebel has reported some vulnerabilities in PaysiteReviewCMS, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
Input passed via the "q" parameter to search.php and the "image" parameter to image.php (when "review" and "width" are set) 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.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.1. Other versions may also be affected.
