script code and to other, yet undisclosed, vulnerabilities.

Background
==========

phpWebSite is a content management system written in PHP.

Affected packages
=================

Description
===========

phpWebSite fails to sanitize input sent to the XML-RPC server using the
"POST" method. Other unspecified vulnerabilities have been discovered
by Diabolic Crab of Hackers Center.

Impact

arbitrary PHP script code by sending specially crafted XML data to
phpWebSite. The undisclosed vulnerabilities do have an unknown impact.

Workaround
