Summary

YesWiki before 4.7.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting flaw in the filtertags action, which echoes attacker-controlled token values without output encoding. An anonymous attacker can inject markup through action attribute parameters that bypasses the allow_raw_html gate, so JavaScript runs for every user who views the page. The issue is tracked as CWE-79.
