Vulnerability Details:
User can execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the vulnerable application. 

The vulnerability exists due to failure in the "ruubikcms/cms/index.php" script to properly sanitize user-supplied input in "description" variable. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in a compromise of the application, theft of cookie-based authentication credentials, disclosure or modification of sensitive data.

An attacker can use browser to exploit this vulnerability. The following PoC is available:

<form action="http://example.com/ruubikcms/cms/index.php?p=home" method="post" name="main" >
	<input type="hidden" name="save" value="1" />
