Secunia Research reports:

Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in DokuWiki, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed to the "ns" POST parameter in lib/exe/ajax.php (when "call" is set to "medialist" and "do" is set to "media") is not properly sanitised within the "tpl_mediaFileList()" function in inc/template.php before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
