Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in the application that may allow an attacker to carry out SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and account hijacking attacks.
     
The issues exist in the 'comment_add.asp', 'search.asp', 'category_news_headline.asp', 'more.asp', 'category_news.asp', and 'ews_sort.asp' scripts. Further more a cookie account hijacking issue was also discovered in the application that may allow a remote attacker to gain administrative access to application's administrative interface.
