Title: Trivial XSS in www.cryptocard.com Search function

..............................................

Background Information
----------------------
CRYPTOCard is a privately owned company. They are developers and marketers of, and passionate evangelists for, powerful network security technology.

CRYPTOCard are a small company that has, over the years (they were formed in 1989) attracted the interest and the custom of the likes of Fujitsu; Wijs En Van Oostveen, Amsterdam; Mercy Health, Ohio; The Canadian Space Agency, Ottawa; State Employees Credit Union, Michigan; Rothschild Bank, Zurich;... the list goes on.


Description
-----------
The search functionality of the web site http://www.cryptocard.com has not been probably configured, allowing for potential XSS attacks. These may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code that may lead to privilege escalation and remote access to back end systems
and architecture.

At present it is possible for a remote attacker to force the server into revealing error messages
that may prove useful, and execute commands using their browser.

Proof of Concept
----------------
Entering the following string in the search function located on the corporate web site forces the dispay of a JavScript alert box:
<script>alert('XSS vulnerability')</script>
