Howard, What version is this? With the sample templates in ht://Dig version 3.1.6, the "words" info seems to be properly escaped -- I just see the <script> stuff inside the text input box, and translated on the page. For example, http://www.htdig.org/cgi-bin/htsearch?config=htdig;words=%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.cookie%29%3B%3C%2Fscript%3E My example URL suggests that version 3.1.5 is also immune, though 3.1.5 has other issues that 3.1.6 resolves -- see http://online.securityfocus.com/bid/3410 and http://www.htdig.org/index.html -Peter -- Peter Watkins - peterw@tux.org - peterw@usa.net - http://www.tux.org/~peterw/ Private personal mail: use PGP key F4F397A8; more sensitive data?
