Detail
| Jamie Strandboge discovered that moin, a python clone of WikiWiki, does not sufficiently sanitize the page name in "Despam" action, allowing remote attackers to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. In addition, this update fixes a minor issue in the "textcha" protection, it could be trivially bypassed by blanking the "textcha-question" and "textcha-answer" form fields. For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in version 1.7.1-3+lenny4. For the testing (squeeze) and unstable (sid) distribution, these problems will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your moin package. |

| Title: | USN-925-1 -- moin vulnerabilities | ||
| Description: | It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input when processing Despam actions, resulting in cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. If a privileged wiki user were tricked into performing the Despam action on a page with a crafted title, a remote attacker could exploit this to execute JavaScript code. It was discovered that the TextCha protection in MoinMoin could be bypassed by submitting a crafted form request. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.10 | ||

| 63619 | MoinMoin Multiple Field Textcha Protection Mechanism Bypass |
| 63362 | MoinMoin Despam.py Page Name XSS MoinMoin contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the page name upon submission to the Despam.py script. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server. |
