to customly fit into any site

Html Injection & Cross-Site Scripting
The script does not properly validate user-supplied input in the 'user' field. A remote user can create specially 
crafted HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target 
user's browser.
Also 'message' field in "message.php"
