Synopsis

Zwiki is vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks.

Background

Zwiki is a Zope wiki-clone for easy-to-edit collaborative websites.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
net-zope/zwiki	< 0.36.2-r1	>= 0.36.2-r1	All supported architectures

Description

Due to improper input validation, Zwiki can be exploited to perform cross-site scripting attacks.

Impact

By enticing a user to read a specially-crafted wiki entry, an attacker can execute arbitrary script code running in the context of the victim's browser.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-zope/zwiki-0.36.2-r1"
