Foswiki Multiple HTML Injection Vulnerabilities

Foswiki is prone to multiple HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Foswiki versions prior to 1.1.5 are affected.
