Instiki XSS flaw -- also in i2?

There is an XSS vulnerability in instiki .11, if you aren't
running
the very latest release.  I'm not sure why there hasn't been
an
announcement to this list about the issue, as if you
*aren't* running
.11p1 then you are vulnerable.  Note that .11p1 was released
today,
Feb. 27.

If you go to instiki.org you can see a javascript popup,
which
illustrates the flaw nicely and points you to a description
of the
flaw:

Does anyone know if this also effects i2?   Here is a link
to p1 if
you want to update your instiki installation:

thanks for pointing to the 0.11.pl1 release, rob.
yesterday i was preparing the release the whole day but
didn't report
it here still. please, spread the word about the
security-release.

for i2: i think that the cross-site-scripting is because of
the bad
sanitize functions in rails. so expect more applications to
be
vulnerable. i2 is not really instiki-codebase, since it is
only
intended to work on the main rails wiki site.

guys, please submit patches for the 0.12 version, since i
want to get
this thing forward.

greetings,
parasew
