Bitweaver wiki/edit.php suck_url Parameter Traversal Source Code Disclosure

medium Nessus Plugin ID 29854

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is prone to a directory traversal attack.

Description

The remote host is running Bitweaver, an open source content management system written in PHP.

The version of this software installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'suck_url' parameter of the 'wiki/edit.php' script of directory traversal sequences. An unauthenticated attacker can leverage this issue to read the contents of sensitive files to which access might not otherwise be permitted, such as the application's configuration file.

Note that there are reportedly several other vulnerabilities associated with this version of Bitweaver, although Nessus has not checked for them.

Solution

Unknown at this time.
