Fernando Quintero discovered than MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input when processing login requests, resulting in cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. 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. This issue affected Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 LTS. (CVE-2008-0780)

Fernando Quintero discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input when attaching files, resulting in cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. This issue affected Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 7.10 and 8.04 LTS. (CVE-2008-0781)

It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input when processing user forms. A remote attacker could submit crafted cookie values and overwrite arbitrary files via directory traversal.
This issue affected Ubuntu 6.06 LTS, 7.10 and 8.04 LTS.
(CVE-2008-0782)

It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input when editing pages, resulting in cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and 7.10. (CVE-2008-1098)

It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly enforce access controls, which could allow a remoter attacker to view private pages.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and 7.10. (CVE-2008-1099)

It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input when attaching files and using the rename parameter, resulting in cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. (CVE-2009-0260)

It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input when displaying error messages after processing spam, resulting in cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. (CVE-2009-0312).

XSS issue in login action

XSS issue in AttachFile action

XSS issue in RenamePage/DeletePage action

XSS issue in gui editor

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

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered:
    A vulnerability exists in the file wikimacro.py because the
    _macro_Getval function does not properly enforce ACLs     (CVE-2008-1099).
    A directory traversal vulnerability exists in the userform action     (CVE-2008-0782).
    A Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability exists in the login action     (CVE-2008-0780).
    Multiple Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities exist in the file     action/AttachFile.py when using the message, pagename, and target     filenames (CVE-2008-0781).
    Multiple Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities exist in     formatter/text_gedit.py (aka the gui editor formatter) which can be     exploited via a page name or destination page name, which trigger an     injection in the file PageEditor.py (CVE-2008-1098).
  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.

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in MoinMoin, a Python clone of WikiWiki. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2007-2637     Access control lists for calendars and includes were     insufficiently enforced, which could lead to information     disclosure.

  - CVE-2008-0780     A cross-site-scripting vulnerability has been discovered     in the login code.

  - CVE-2008-0781     A cross-site-scripting vulnerability has been discovered     in attachment handling.

  - CVE-2008-0782     A directory traversal vulnerability in cookie handling     could lead to local denial of service by overwriting     files.

  - CVE-2008-1098     Cross-site-scripting vulnerabilities have been     discovered in the GUI editor formatter and the code to     delete pages.

  - CVE-2008-1099     The macro code validates access control lists     insufficiently, which could lead to information     disclosure.
