TikiWiki File Upload temp Directory Arbitrary Script Execution

high Nessus Plugin ID 16229

Synopsis

A web application on the remote host has an arbitrary code execution vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running TikiWiki, a content management system written in PHP.

The remote version of this software is vulnerable to a flaw in the way TikiWiki handles uploaded files. If an attacker is able to upload a file, they can then call the script remotely via a request to the $tikiroot/temp/ directory. This would allow for the execution of arbitrary PHP code on the web server.

Solution

Upgrade to the latest version of the product.
