## Vulnerability ##
Php-Gaestebuch is a German Guestbook system. This guestbooks may allow an attacker to inject code into the page. The

field, some administrators decide to delete this field, but the original version of the aplication includes this field.
The vulnerability is located in the page where comments are sent (default: guestbook_newentry.php). This is the
vulnerable field:
The 'URL' variable is not santized correctly, and so code can be injected breaking the link tag generated in
guestbook.php, by writting the characters "> at the beggining of the URL field.

URL value: url = http://trew.icenetx.net
Result in guestbook.php: ...
URL value: url = ">
