high Nessus Plugin ID 27844

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Secunia reports :

Some vulnerabilities have been reported in TikiWiki, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and script insertion attacks and disclose potentially sensitive information.

Input passed to the username parameter in tiki-remind_password.php (when remind is set to send me my password) is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code (for example with meta refreshes to a javascript: URL) in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

Input passed to the local_php and error_handler parameters in tiki-index.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.

Input passed to the imp_language parameter in tiki-imexport_languages.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.

Certain img src elements are not properly santised before being used.
This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which is executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is viewed.

Solution

Update the affected package.
