Wikka wikka.php Local File Inclusion

high Nessus Plugin ID 21729

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a local file include issue.

Description

The remote host is running Wikka, a lightweight, open source wiki application written in PHP.

The version of Wikka installed on the remote host has a programming error in the 'Method()-method' in 'wikka.php'. By leveraging this issue, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to access arbitrary PHP files on the affected host and execute them, subject to the privileges of the web server user id.

Note that successful exploitation is unaffected by the setting of PHP 'register_globals' but only works with files with the extension '.php'.

Solution

Upgrade to Wikka version 1.1.6.2 or later.
