Description Ratul Gupta 2013-12-10 11:27:35 UTC 
It was found that the osm plugin for ikiwiki uses htmlscrubber (if enabled) to sanitize some parameters. Even when it is enabled, it was found that it still does not correctly escape some fields. In particular, the "name" parameter is included verbatim, breaking involuntarily javascript when the name contains a single quote/apostrophe ('). Due to this, javascript code injection might become trivial.
