The remote host is running ArticleLive, a set of CGIs designed to simplify
the management of a news site.

Due to improper filtering done by the script 'newcomment' remote attacker
can cause the ArticleLive product to include arbitrary HTML and/or
JavaScript, and therefore use the remote host to perform cross-site
scripting attacks.

Solution : Upgrade to the newest version of this software
