Yioop XSS vulnerability.

Hello,
it seems that Yioop is vulernable to XSS attacks. Neither Quotes nor the < Symbol are escaped decently...
Please check yourself: https://www.seekquarry.com/?its=0&q=php+%22test%22 The quotes are not shown in the search field again, as they are not written as " and https://www.seekquarry.com/?its=0&q=php+%3C even messes up the output of the search results.
Is there a fix available (also for Version 6)?
Kind regards, Harald

You can easily test it here: https://pentest-tools.com/website-vulnerability-scanning/xss-scanner-online# There are several URLs with vulnerabilities found if I check for instance https://www.yioop.com/ I created a wrapper for out website that filters out the requests and results, but I think it would make sense to fix the original code. Kind regards, Harald

Hey Harald,
Thanks for pointing out this vulnerability. I am wrapping up the semester here, and my laptop where I write my code just died, so I am somewhat slowed down. Given this I should have a fix in maybe two weeks.
Best, Chris
