Tinypug Comment HTML-Injection Vulnerability

Tinypug is prone to a HTML-injection vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied data.

Attacker-supplied HTML or JavaScript code could run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.

Tinypug 0.9.5 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
