The problem is that the script "dbabble" doesn't verify input before it is returned in error messages. This allows malicious people to conduct Cross Site Scripting attacks.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.5i.

Solution:
Some malicious requests may be filtered using a proxy or a firewall with URL filtering capabilities. Alternatively, use a different product.
