Details
It was discovered that several wiki actions and preference settings in MoinMoin were not protected from cross-site request forgery (CSRF). If an authenticated user were tricked into visiting a malicious website while logged into MoinMoin, a remote attacker could change the user’s configuration or wiki content. (CVE-2010-0668, CVE-2010-0717)
