Vulnerability / Exploit:
------------------------

> From line 109 to line 113, there are the vulnerable code:

[...]

GBOOK_UNAME     =       REQUEST.FORM("GBOOK_UNAME")
GBOOK_EMAIL     =       REQUEST.FORM("GBOOK_EMAIL")
GBOOK_CITY      =       REQUEST.FORM("GBOOK_CITY")
GBOOK_COU       =       REQUEST.FORM("GBOOK_COU")
GBOOK_WWW       =       REQUEST.FORM("GBOOK_WWW")

[...]

As you can see, the variables:
GBOOK_UNAME
GBOOK_CITY
GBOOK_COU

are not properly sanitized before being used, so a remote attacker can inject arbitrary HTML code.

So, the programmer for delete the bug can modify the source code with a simple replace().

Not very hard.. :D Just put <script>alert("XSS")</script> in the Name, City and Country fields.
