Description

Loggerhead contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate input related to the filename is in loggerhead/templatefunctions.py script before being displayed in revision view filenames. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
