Joomla 1.7.0 - XSS
VULNERABILITY DESCRIPTION

Several parameters (searchword, extension, asset, author ) in Joomla!
Core components are not properly sanitized upon submission to the
/index.php url, which allows attacker to conduct Cross Site Scripting
attack. This may allow an attacker to create a specially crafted URL
that would execute arbitrary script code in a victim's browser.
