It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize certain input, resulting in a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. 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. (CVE-2011-1058)
It was discovered that MoinMoin incorrectly handled group names that contain virtual group names such as ‘All’, ‘Known’ or ‘Trusted’. This could result in a remote user having incorrect permissions.
(CVE-2012-4404).
Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
