i scanned my website with an vulnerability scanner. it gives me an high risk bug.
'malicious users may inject JavaScript, VBScript, ActiveX, HTML or Flash into a vulnerable application to fool a user in order to gather data from them'
proof of concept:
_http://www.mysite.com/?fontstyle=1"+onmouseover=alert(664447827493)+
if you do this, a popup will open and shows you the numbers from the example. (664447827493)
what did you think ?

Hello,
I still don't check with that scanner.
Could you please check whether the demo demo.rockettheme.com/nov08_j15/ also shows the same xss warning?

Hi Chris, i'm not able to replicate this issue. I just installed the latest version of the Joomla 1.5 based RocketLauncher for Verstility4. Then i put this URL in the browser:
_http://localhost/demo/nov08/index.php?fontstyle=1+onmouseover=alert(664447827493)+
EDIT: Ok, missed a quote, I see it now. Strange. I'll take a look at it. For the record these types of XSS are generally considered LOW impact as they only run client side js.

Ok can you replace line 12 in rt_styleswitcher.php with this:
$$tprop = htmlentities(JRequest::getString($tprop, null, 'get'));
Should resolve it.
