Description Jan Lieskovsky 2011-02-14 14:43:58 UTC

Mailman, the mailing list manager, did not properly sanitize
full name of the mailing list member, in the following confirmation
dialogs:
1), "Confirm unsubscription request" screen,
2), "Confirm change of email address request" screen,
3), "Re-enable mailing list membership" screen.

A remote, authenticated user could use these flaws to conduct
cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks (execute arbitrary HTML or
scripting code) via a specially-crafted full name of the mailing
list member.
