Icy Phoenix 1.3.0.53a http referer stored XSS

There is a stored XSS vulnerability using http referer HTTP header due to failure in 'index.php' in the acp to sanitize the http referer header. Any visitor to the site can compromise the admin account or any user with privileges to see the 'http referrers' section under the 'Info' section. An attacker has to use an intercepting proxy or manual server requests to add the 'HTTP referer header' containing the POC to the server request.

Mitigation:

Sanitize the http referer header in 'index.php' in the acp.
