www-apps/moinmoin	< 1.6.1	>= 1.6.1	All supported architectures

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered:

A vulnerability exists in the file wikimacro.py because the _macro_Getval function does not properly enforce ACLs (CVE-2008-1099).

A Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability exists in the login action (CVE-2008-0780).

Multiple Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities exist in formatter/text_gedit.py (aka the gui editor formatter) which can be exploited via a page name or destination page name, which trigger an injection in the file PageEditor.py (CVE-2008-1098).

Impact

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.
