Django-wiki is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the Notifications Section. An attacker who has access to edit pages can inject JavaScript payload in the title field. When a victim gets a notification regarding the changes made in the application, the payload in the notification panel renders and loads external JavaScript.
