Title: PmWiki Search Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

PmWiki is a web-based wiki application written in PHP.

PmWiki is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'q' parameter of the 'Search' function.

An attacker may leverage this issue to have arbitrary script code execute in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

PmWiki 2.0 up to and including 2.0.12 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

  • PmWiki PmWiki 2.0.0 .0
  • PmWiki PmWiki 2.0.1
