CVE-2015-1032 A cross-site scripting vulnerability in the "Kiwix" zim file reader was discovered by Emmanuel Engelhart on 31 October 2014, and was reported on Sourceforge here: http://sourceforge.net/p/kiwix/bugs/763/ This vulnerability does not affect most users of the program, only those using the "kiwix-serve" binary to allow zim files to be read over a network. Input to the search bar was not sanitised, thus allowing arbitrary javascript code to be sent via servers running this program. This image shows a proof of concept: http://sourceforge.net/p/kiwix/bugs/763/attachment/ppdhmq.png This vulnerability was fixed by Emmanuel Engelhart on 8 January 2015 with this commit: http://sourceforge.net/p/kiwix/kiwix/ci/d1af5f0375c6db24d4071acf4806735725fd206e
