Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in eZ publish, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed to various scripts is not properly sanitised before being returned to users. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site.

Example:
http://[host]/index.php/content/search/?SectionID=3&SearchText=[code]

It has also reported that various scripts under "/kernel/class" and "/kernel/classes" return path information when requested directly. Also, the "site.ini" file is publicly accessible from "/settings/site.ini", which may reveal the database name, username, password, and various system information.

Solution:
Update to version 3.0-2, which fixes the cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

The vendor reports that the other reported security issues only are present on incorrectly configured systems.
