Synopsis
=======
Zwiki is vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks.
Background
=========
Zwiki is a Zope wiki-clone for easy-to-edit collaborative websites.

Description
==========
Due to improper input validation, Zwiki can be exploited to perform cross-site scripting attacks.
Impact

By enticing a user to read a specially-crafted wiki entry, an attacker can execute arbitrary script code running in the context of the victim's browser.
Workaround
=========
There is no known workaround at this time.
