Summary

Interpretation conflict between Microsoft Internet Explorer and DocuWiki before 2007-06-26b allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks when spellchecking UTF-8 encoded messages via the spell_utf8test function in lib/exe/spellcheck.php, which triggers HTML document identification and script execution by Internet Explorer even though the Content-Type header is text/plain.

descriptionDokuWiki reports : The spellchecker tests the UTF-8 capabilities of the used browser by sending an UTF-8 string to the backend, which will send it back unfiltered. By comparing string length the spellchecker can work around broken implementations. An attacker could construct a form to let users send JavaScript to the spellchecker backend, resulting in malicious JavaScript being executed in their browser. Affected are all versions up to and including 2007-06-26 even when the spell checker is disabled.
