It was discovered that xapian-omega, a CGI interface for searching xapian databases, is not properly escaping user-supplied input when printing exceptions. An attacker can use this to conduct cross-site scripting attacks via crafted search queries resulting in an exception and steal potentially sensitive data from web applications running on the same domain or embedding the search engine into a website.
