A bug in TikiWiki allows certain users to upload and execute malicious PHP scripts.
TikiWiki is a web-based groupware and content management system (CMS), using PHP, ADOdb and Smarty.
TikiWiki does not validate files uploaded to the "temp" directory.
A malicious user could run arbitrary commands on the server by uploading and calling a PHP script.
