Persistent XSS:
===============

Bedita 3.5.1 contains multiples flaws that allows a persistent remote cross site scripting attack in the "cfg[projectName]", "data[stats_provider_url]" and "data[description]" parameters.
This could allow malicious users to create a specially crafted POST request that would execute arbitrary
code in a user's browser in order to gather data from them or to modify the content of the page presented to the user.


Exploits Examples:


1)cfg[projectName] parameter:

	Cookie: CAKEPHP=7jviahcvolu87hdp8dqbo25jl6
	Connection: keep-alive

	[...]cfg%5BprojectName%5D=<script>alert(12345)</script>[...]


2) data[stats_provider_url] parameter:
