Ruby 3.2 removed taint and untaint methods: 
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/16131#note-3

I installed hiki today, and it outputs this in the browser:

Hiki Error

undefined method `untaint' for an instance of String (NoMethodError)
/usr/share/hiki/hiki.cgi:20:in `<top (required)>'
/var/www/hiki/hiki.cgi:2:in `load'
/var/www/hiki/hiki.cgi:2:in `<main>'

I tried to remove some of the method calls, but it was not enough to get it 
working.

This seems to be not actively maintained upstream. Last release was in Mar 29, 2013. Commits seems to be only doing automatic dependency updates.

Unless someone steps in to fill the upstream maintainer role, it may be better to remove this package.
