Hello Josh, Steve, vendors, it was found that the Zikula web application framework did not properly sanitize the 'themename' parameter, while setting particular theme as a default one, modifying the theme or deleting it. A remote attacker, with Zikula administrator privilege, could use this flaw to execute arbitrary HTML or web script code in the context of the affected website.
