Nitin Venkatesh discovered a cross-site scripting vulnerability in moin, a Python clone of WikiWiki. A remote attacker can conduct cross-site scripting attacks via the GUI editor’s link dialogue. This only affects installations which have set up fckeditor (not enabled by default).

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.8-1+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your moin packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
