Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200803-27 (MoinMoin: Multiple vulnerabilities)

 Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered:

 A Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability exists in the login action (CVE-2008-0780).

 Impact :

 These vulnerabilities can be exploited to allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML, overwrite arbitrary files, or read protected pages.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.
