('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Vulnerability: XSS Vulnerabilities in msg

Description: XSS (Cross Site Scripting) vulnerabilities exist in the msg parameter passed in the URL to many pages. This can be used to run arbitrary code on the website, or redirect to some other malicious script. These pages include:
        deliver.asp
        error.asp
        signin.asp
        admin/error.asp
        admin/index.asp

Exploit: A test script was used to prove this vulnerability
        www.example.com/acart2_0/affected_page.asp?msg= &lt;script&gt;alert("test")&lt;/script&gt;

Solution: The developer needs to properly sanitize variables passed through the URL to remove possible malicious code.
