Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2005-3849 is a cross-site scripting issue in PmWiki Search. A vulnerable site running PmWiki up to 2.0.12 may reflect attacker-supplied content from the search query into users' browsers. Business risk depends on whether legacy public or internal PmWiki instances still exist. Exposure is likely limited to old PmWiki deployments, especially internet-facing wikis or internal knowledge bases not inventoried recently. The bundle's structured affected fields are generic, so product/version confirmation must come from asset evidence. Handle as a legacy hygiene issue with moderate urgency. It is not cited as actively exploited, but an old public wiki can create account, data, and reputational risk if staff browse attacker-controlled links. Mitigation focus: Inventory PmWiki instances and identify versions at or below 2.0.12.; Check PmWiki vendor guidance or release notes for the corrected version.; Upgrade affected PmWiki instances to a vendor-supported fixed release when confirmed..
