## Description

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in action/AttachFile.py
in MoinMoin 1.8.2 and earlier allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary
web script or HTML via (1) an AttachFile sub-action in the error\_msg
function or (2) multiple vectors related to package file errors in the
upload\_form function, different vectors than CVE-2009-0260.
