ikiwiki before 3.20161229 incorrectly called the CGI::FormBuilder->field method (similar to the CGI->param API that led to Bugzillas CVE-2014-1572), which can be abused to lead to commit metadata forgery.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
