Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in UseModWiki

UseModWiki is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability. The issue occurs due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied URI input before outputting it in web pages. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to create a malicious URI link that includes hostile HTML and script code. If the victim user follows this link, the hostile code may be rendered in their web browser, potentially leading to theft of cookie-based authentication credentials or other attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to update UseModWiki to the latest version, which should include a fix for this issue. Additionally, it is advised to sanitize and validate user-supplied input before using it in web pages.
