Kaltura PHP5 API Client uses curl_exec without proper validation.

Security scans indicate that the code snippet is vulnerable for XSS attack without sanitization of data for the cURL request.

KalturaClient/KalturaClientBase.php -- line 588, 643

// Set custom headers
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $requestHeaders);

// Save response headers
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION, array($this, 'readHeader') );

$destinationResource = null;
if($this->destinationPath)
{
	$destinationResource = fopen($this->destinationPath, "wb");
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $destinationResource);
}
else
{
	curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
}

$result = curl_exec($ch);

if($destinationResource)
	fclose($destinationResource);

$curlError = curl_error($ch);
