Description

MoinMoin contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the input passed via the 'refuri' node attribute upon submission to the reStructuredText parser in 'parser/text_rst.py'. 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.
