The version of Moodle on the remote host contains a flaw that allows a
remote cross site scripting attack because the application does not
validate the 'reply' variable upon submission to the 'post.php'
script. 

This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute
arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the 
browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.

Solution : Upgrade to Moodle 1.4 or newer.
Risk factor : Medium";
