    Title:
    ======
    
    Cross-site scripting vulnerability (XSS) in Authoria HR suite
    
    Vulnerable Application:
    =======================
    
    Authoria HR Suite (http://www.authoria.com) is HR information management
    application used by many large enterprises.
    
    Details:
    ========
    
    Due to the unefficient URL filtering, which assumes that if you enclose
    something in quites, it will be a string value, it is possible to inject
    a javascript in the URL.
    
    The fact that all unknown parameters are passed to string variables inside
    <script> tag makes it even easier to exploit.
    
    Demonstration:
    ==============
    
    https://your.site.com/path.to/cgi-bin/athcgi.exe?command=showpage&script='],[0,0]];alert('Hello%20there!');a=[['
