Official description
The QAD Search Server is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in versions up to, and including, 1.0.0.315 due to insufficient checks on indexes. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to create a new index and inject a malicious web script into its name, that will execute whenever a user accesses the search page.
