Baby Gekko URL Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

Description

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Baby Gekko, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed via the URL to e.g. index.php or includes/errors/404.php is not properly sanitised in includes/errors/404.php 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.
Successful exploitation requires that the victim uses a browser that does not URL-encode the request (e.g. Internet Explorer 6).
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.2.2a. Other versions may also be affected.
