Class: Cross-Site Scripting Severity: Medium  
  
  
Overview:  
---------  
JAMWiki is prone to cross-site scripting vulnerability.  
  
  
Technical Description:  
----------------------  
JAMWiki: Java-based Wiki engine is prone to a cross-site scripting  
vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.  
  
Input passed via the 'num' parameter in Special:AllPages is not properly  
verified before it is returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute  
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the context of  
a vulnerable site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based  
authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.  
  
The vulnerability has been tested in JAMWiki 1.1.3 and 1.14. Other versions may  
also be affected.  
  
  
Impact:  
--------  
Successful exploitation allows an attacker to execute arbitrary HTML and script  
code in a user's browser session in the context of a vulnerable site.  
  
  
Affected Software:  
------------------  
JAMWiki 1.1.4 and prior.
