Yaws-Wiki Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Yaws-Wiki is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities and an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content. Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.

Mitigation:

To mitigate these vulnerabilities, it is recommended to implement proper input validation and sanitization techniques to prevent the execution of malicious code. Additionally, implementing a Content Security Policy (CSP) can help mitigate the impact of cross-site scripting attacks.
