Hi Andy,

While playing around with your knowledgebase program, I noticed that a few places didn’t sanitize user input, allowing for cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. The following pages and variables are affected:

index.php keyword_list
submit_article.php title, article, author, keywords
submit_question.php Question, Name, Email

This was tested on version 0.57
