    Check out websleuth -- it takes a little work, but it can do what you
    want. The technique is pretty simple -- send a few test tags into each
    form field and then see if the responses contain the tag. If so, it's
    vulnerable.  Not a terribly sophisticated test, but it'll do since in
    most cases there's no reason not to filter out the tags.
