## Description

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ow.asp in OpenWiki 0.78 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the p parameter. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the vendor and a third party who is affiliated with the product. The vendor states "You cannot insert code in a wikipage or via URL parameters as they are all escaped before usage, so nothing can be compromised at other sites.
