Descriptions

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the link dialogue in GUI editor in MoinMoin before 1.9.8 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.

Vulnerabilidad de XSS en el link de diálogo en el editor de GUI en MoinMoin en versiones anteriores a 1.9.8 permite a atacantes remotos inyectar secuencias de comandos web o HTML arbitrarios mediante vectores no especificados.

It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize certain inputs, resulting in cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain.
