Insight
It was discovered that mahara, an electronic portfolio, weblog, and resume builder, is prone to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks because of missing input sanitization of the introduction text field in user profiles and any text field in a user view.
The oldstable distribution (etch) does not contain mahara.
For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.4-4+lenny2.
For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.1.3-1.
