BOINC 5.10.20 - 'text_search_action.php?search_string' Cross-Site Scripting

BOINC (Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing) is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input data.
 
An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
 
These issues affects BOINC 5.10.20; other versions may also be affected.
