Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Cross-site Request Forgery (CSRF) which allows to execute macros with the rights of the current user. If a privileged user with programming rights is tricked into executing a GET request to this document with certain parameters (e.g., via an image with a corresponding URL embedded in a comment or via a redirect), this would allow arbitrary remote code execution, and the attacker could gain rights, access private information or impact the availability of the wiki.
