The DigiTrust Group reports :

When creating a new database, a malicious user can use a client-side Web proxy to place malicious code in the db parameter of the POST request. Since db_create.php does not properly sanitize user-supplied input, an administrator could face a persistent XSS attack when the database names are displayed.
