Ok firstly let me just say that a recently posted "exploit" on Security Focus claiming that peole could exploit the guestbook using the homepage field is incorrect as the guestbook already checks the submitted url.
Anyway whilst disproving this exploit I realised there is an exploit that would require only minor knowledge to perform so I am submitting this patch before anyone else publicises the exploit.
Open up lib/add.class.php. Find oth occurences ofand replace them withNow you are patched.

Well this is a 0 day exploit meaning that it has not been published anywhere else yet to my knowledge. It's not the easiest exploit to actually pull off but better safe than sorry.

OK I misread the exploit posted on the security focus site. With the discovery of these two exploits I am going to have to bring forward the release of Advanced Guestbook 2.4. It will not be that major an update but will patch several exploits, add Yahoo & MSN fields, add a third option to gender and some other midnor differences.
