DESCRIPTION:
Michael Brooks has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in yaws-wiki,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting attacks.
Input passed via the "tag" parameter to editTag.yaws (when "node" is
set to "ALockedPage"), the "index" parameter to showOldPage.yaws
(when "node" is set to "home"), and the "node" parameter to
allRefsToMe.yaws is not properly sanitised before being returned to
the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script
code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.88-1. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Filter malicious characters or character sequences via a proxy.
