Emanuel Bronshtein discovered that Mahara, an electronic portfolio, weblog, and resume builder, contains multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities due to missing sanitization and insufficient encoding of user-supplied data.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 1.2.6-2+squeeze5.
