Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2012-0220 is a cross-site scripting issue in ikiwiki’s meta plugin before version 3.20120516. If an attacker can influence page metadata, they may inject script or HTML through author-related fields, potentially affecting readers or administrators who view generated pages. Exposure is most likely for public or collaborative ikiwiki sites running versions before 3.20120516, especially where untrusted users can create or edit page metadata. Sites without the meta plugin or without untrusted content workflows are less likely exposed. Treat this as a targeted web-content integrity risk, not a broad infrastructure emergency. Prioritize internet-facing or collaborative ikiwiki deployments because XSS can compromise sessions, deface content, or support phishing when privileged users view affected pages. Mitigation focus: Upgrade ikiwiki to version 3.20120516 or later.; Apply Debian package updates referenced by DSA-2474 where applicable.; Restrict untrusted page editing until the fixed version is confirmed..
