MoinMoin vulnerability

Details
A flaw was discovered in MoinMoin's page name sanitizer which could lead
to a cross-site scripting attack. By tricking a user into viewing a
crafted MoinMoin page, an attacker could execute arbitrary JavaScript as
the current MoinMoin user, possibly exposing the user's authentication
information for the domain where MoinMoin was hosted.
