Details follow:
It was discovered that MoinMoin did not properly sanitize its input when
processing Despam actions, resulting in cross-site scripting (XSS)
vulnerabilities. If a privileged wiki user were tricked into performing
the Despam action on a page with a crafted title, a remote attacker could
exploit this to execute JavaScript code. (CVE-2010-0828)
It was discovered that the TextCha protection in MoinMoin could be bypassed
by submitting a crafted form request. This issue only affected Ubuntu 8.10.
(CVE-2010-1238)
