Title:
  Using $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] may allow XSS

Status in Open Source PHP RAD Framework with UI.:
  New

Bug description:
  In PHPDS.inc.php, line 358, in PHPDS->configSession(), we use
  $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] to build the absolute URL, which will later be
  injected in HTML.

  In some case this can be a security flaw:

  Very tricky but we should look into it.
