Summary

YesWiki before 4.7.0 contains a stored cross-site scripting flaw in handlers/page/referrers_sites.php, where CWE-79 lets unauthenticated attackers inject scripts through a crafted Referer header. A Referer hostname with HTML metacharacters is rendered unescaped, so the script runs for any visitor of the referrer-sites page and can perform same-origin authenticated actions. User interaction is required, as the visitor must load the page.
