    Package : moin
    Vulnerability : missing input sanitization
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    Debian bug : 584809
    CVE ID : CVE-2010-2487

    It was discovered that moin, a python clone of WikiWiki, does not sufficiently sanitize parameters when passing them to the add_msg function. This allows a remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks for example
    via the template parameter.

    version 1.9.3-1.
