Subject: XSS Hole in Fluid Dynamics Search engine


Name :          FD Search Engine
Vendor :        Fluid Dynamics - http://www.xav.com
Version :       Probably all
Demo :          http://www.xav.com/search.pl

Note :  Sorry for my poor english ...
-------------------------------------



PROBLEM
        For a multiple result pages search, the script uses the variable
Rank wich 
contains current result number.
        Anything could be written into, including HTML tags.


EXEMPLE
        
http://www.xav.com/search.pl?Realm=All&Match=0&Terms=test&nocpp=1&maxhit
s=10&
Rank=<br><h1>XSS</h1>
        Note : it works because "test" returns several pages.

SOLUTION
        None yet.
