This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.


Additional info:
Some of those parameters by both vulnerabilities will give Full Path Disclosure and there will be many other parameters wich isnt properly sanitised.
And if it will be not enough you can aslo figure out something like sql injection form search engine module, just try to add in any possible field some "unsanitised" input and you will see.
