NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dokuwiki package and not the dokuwiki package as distributed by Ubuntu.

DokuWiki through 2017-02-19c has stored XSS when rendering a malicious RSS or Atom feed, in /inc/parser/xhtml.php. An attacker can create or edit a wiki that uses RSS or Atom data from an attacker-controlled server to trigger JavaScript execution. The JavaScript can be in an author field, as demonstrated by the dc:creator element.
