## Overview

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in `action/AttachFile.py` in MoinMoin before 1.8.1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via an AttachFile action to the WikiSandBox component with (1) the rename parameter or (2) the drawing parameter (aka the basename variable).

## Affected packages

- `moin < 1.8.1`

## Remediation

Upgrade to a patched release:

- `moin 1.8.1`
