Description: An input validation vulnerability was reported in Namazu. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
A remote user can supply a specially crafted query to 'namazu.cgi' that begins with a tab character (%09) to bypass the validation
mechanism. The specially crafted URL, when loaded by a target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target
user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the Namazu software and will run in the security context of that site.
As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with
the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the
target user.

> 2.0.13 Up to before namazu.cgi begins from a tab (%09). If query is specified, a
