ATutor Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Description

Stefan Schurtz has discovered some vulnerabilities in ATutor, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed via the URL after login.php, search.php, password_reminder.php, browse.php, registration.php, or about.php and via the URL after themes/default/tile_search/index.tmpl.php and themes/default/social/basic_profile.tmpl.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user.
