Description:
A vulnerability has been identified in miniPortail allowing malicious people to conduct Cross Site Scripting attacks.
The problem is that the "lng" parameter isn't handled correctly. This allows malicious people to inject arbitrary HTML and script code.
Example:
http://[some_site]/?lng=<evil_code>
If a "'" is supplied in the "lng" parameter, miniPortail will return an error message revealing the relative include path.
This affects version 2.3 and possibly earlier.
Solution:
Update to version 2.4.
