AFFECTED APPLICATION OR SERVICE
PmWiki
http://www.pmwiki.org/

AFFECTED VERSION
Version 2.0 up to and including 2.0.12

BACKGROUND
Everybody knows XSS.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSS
http://www.cgisecurity.net/articles/xss-faq.shtml

ISSUE
PmWiki 2.0.12 is subject to a XSS vulnerability. The
problem exists in the 'q' parameter passed to the search
function. Successful exploitation may allow for
impersonification through session stealing.

The following URL demonstrates this issue:

[pmwiki_basedir]/Site/Search?action=search&q=TRY%20ANOTHER%20SEARCH%20NO
W!%20YES,%20YOU!'%20onMouseOver='alert(document.title);'%20

This issue is caused by insufficient input validation.

WORKAROUND
Client: Disable Javascript.
Server: Prevent access to pagelist.php.

SOLUTIONS
Install or upgrade to the latest release, version 2.0.13.
Both releases and patch files are available at
http://www.pmwiki.org/pub/pmwiki/
