as scanned by godaddy website protection on 3-31-2012, here is what it says. Can someone please help me fix this? !! Thanks!! note: there are 2 issues, I will post them separate:
1st issue
Description:
The remote web server hosts cgi scripts that fail to adequately
sanitize parameters name of malicious JavaScript. By leveraging this
issue, an attacker may be able to cause arbitrary HTML and script code
to be executed in a user's browser within the security context of the
affected site.
Risk Factor:
Medium / CVSS Base Score : 4.3(CVSS2#AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)
