Bug Description :
Silurus is a professionally developed Open Source PHP Classifieds script that was built for you. Whether you are 
running classifieds for autos, motorcycles, bicycles, rv’s, guns, horses, or general merchandise, our product is the 
right package for you. It has template system and no limit to usage with free for any changes.
Silurus Classifieds (ver v2.0) The server reads data directly from the HTTP request and reflects it back in the HTTP 
response. Reflected XSS exploits occur when an attacker causes a victim to supply dangerous content to a vulnerable web 
application, which is then reflected back to the victim and executed by the web browser. The most common mechanism for 
delivering malicious content is to include it as a parameter in a URL that is posted publicly or e-mailed directly to 
the victim. URLs constructed in this manner constitute the core of many phishing schemes, whereby an attacker convinces 
a victim to visit a URL that refers to a vulnerable site. After the site reflects the attacker's content back to the 
victim, the content is executed by the victim's browser.
