Synopsis
========
TikiWiki is vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks.
Background
==========
TikiWiki is a web-based groupware and content management system (CMS),
using PHP, ADOdb and Smarty.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 www-apps/tikiwiki < 1.9.1.1 >= 1.9.1.1
Description
===========
Due to improper input validation, TikiWiki can be exploited to perform
cross-site scripting attacks.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could exploit this to inject and execute malicious
script code or to steal cookie-based authentication credentials,
potentially compromising the victim's browser.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All TikiWiki users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/tikiwiki-1.9.1.1"
Note: Users with the vhosts USE flag set should manually use
webapp-config to finalize the update.
