Description: Artemis reported a vulnerability in TP-Book. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
The software does not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input in the 'name' field before displaying the input. A remote
user can submit a specially crafted entry that, when viewed 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 TP-Book 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.

Impact: A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site running the
