Jamie Strandboge discovered that moin, a python clone of WikiWiki, does not sufficiently sanitize the page name in ‘Despam’ action, allowing remote attackers to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
In addition, this update fixes a minor issue in the ‘textcha’ protection, it could be trivially bypassed by blanking the ‘textcha-question’ and ‘textcha-answer’ form fields.
