    Synopsis
    ========

    TikiWiki is vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks.

    Background
    ==========

    TikiWiki is a web-based groupware and content management system (CMS),
    using PHP, ADOdb and Smarty.

    Affected packages
    =================

        -------------------------------------------------------------------
         Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
        -------------------------------------------------------------------
      1 www-apps/tikiwiki < 1.9.1.1 >= 1.9.1.1

    Description
    ===========

    Due to improper input validation, TikiWiki can be exploited to perform
    cross-site scripting attacks.

    Impact
    ======

    A remote attacker could exploit this to inject and execute malicious
    script code or to steal cookie-based authentication credentials,
    potentially compromising the victim's browser.

    Workaround
    ==========

    There is no known workaround at this time.

    Resolution
    ==========

    All TikiWiki users should upgrade to the latest version:

        # emerge --sync
        # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/tikiwiki-1.9.1.1"

    Note: Users with the vhosts USE flag set should manually use
    webapp-config to finalize the update.

    Availability
    ============

    This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at
    the Gentoo Security Website:
