Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the reStructuredText (rst) parser in parser/text_rst.py in MoinMoin before 1.9.3, when docutils is installed or when "format rst" is set, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a javascript: URL in the refuri attribute. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201210-02 (MoinMoin: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in MoinMoin. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    These vulnerabilities in MoinMoin allow remote users to inject arbitrary       web script or HTML, to obtain sensitive information and to bypass the       textcha protection mechanism. There are several other unknown impacts and       attack vectors.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize certain input, resulting in a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or steal confidential data, within the same domain. (CVE-2011-1058)

It was discovered that MoinMoin incorrectly handled group names that contain virtual group names such as 'All', 'Known' or 'Trusted'. This could result in a remote user having incorrect permissions.
(CVE-2012-4404).
