http://secunia.com/advisories/11260/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
From remote

DESCRIPTION:
SmOk3 has discovered a vulnerability in SillySearch, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct Cross Site Scripting
attacks.

Input passed to the "search" parameter isn't sanitised sufficiently
before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML or script code in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site by tricking the user into visiting a malicious
website or follow a specially crafted link.

Version 2.3 and prior is vulnerable.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.4.
