Which is where?

[OnyxChase]

I would also like to know, as I have modified the code and I would have to re-do everything if I simply upgrade.

[sparklywater]

I have the same problem as OnyxChase above.

[sparklywater]

Is there a small change I can make to my current to correct the exploit?

[Michael Biddle]

It is a one line change in the main code plugin.

Find:

PHP Code:

$ppagetext = $row['pagetext']; 


The new is:

PHP Code:

$ppagetext = htmlspecialchars($row['pagetext']);
