DESCRIPTION:
Sony has discovered a vulnerability in TWiki, which can be exploited
by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.

Input passed via the Organization field when registering or editing a
user is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be
exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be
executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site
when the malicious data is being viewed.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.1.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Sony
