DokuWiki doku.php X-FORWARDED-FOR HTTP Header Arbitrary Code Injection

high Nessus Plugin ID 22315

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that should be removed or protected.

Description

The remote host is running DokuWiki, an open source wiki application written in PHP.

The installed version of DokuWiki includes a script, 'bin/dwpage.php', that is intended as a command line tool for modifying pages. By accessing it through the web, an unauthenticated, remote attacker can abuse it to view local files and even execute arbitrary code, both subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Solution

Limit access to DokuWiki's 'bin' directory using, say, a .htaccess file or remove the affected script.
