Description

Hi,

this bug was forwarded from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/214766

The search box in MythWeb doesn't sanitize input data properly. As pointed out by jba6511, it's possible to inject code, e.g. <script>alert(document.cookie);</script>

(In [17549]) Fixes #5336, this escapes the search results output to prevent XSS
