More information:

Nitin Venkatesh discovered a cross-site scripting vulnerability in moin, a Python clone of WikiWiki. A remote attacker can conduct cross-site scripting attacks via the GUI editor's link dialogue. This only affects installations which have set up fckeditor (not enabled by default).

For the stable distribution (stretch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.9.9-1+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your moin packages.
