DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Hiki, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Input passed to the page name in a "Login" link isn't 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.

It has also been reported that an unspecified error in the handling
of access to missing pages can be exploited to conduct cross-site
scripting attacks.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in versions 0.8.0 through
0.8.2.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 0.8.3 or later.
