    Also i have checked it with web application security scanner, and indeed there are many part of the site's script vulnerable to xss (cross site scripting) attack.

    you need to see if you can get that fixed asap, it usally indicates that they might be able to get into your server via it - which is obviously a bad thing

    some of the attacks basicly are where you can get an application to open a remote url with code in it, so it'll run on your server (which is obviously a very bad thing)

    It's most likely some script kiddie just running queries on any GET on your page.. though it shouldn't be an issue as long as the script is validating any input / REGISTER_GLOBALS is off.

    dude, how can you expect a solution without seeing the code or the site?

    And here's it suggestion about how to fix:
    Do you have any idea what is and how to filter metacharacters from user input?

    Your help would be appreciated.
