TikiWiki and eGroupWare both include PHP XML-RPC code vulnerable to arbitrary command execution.
TikiWiki is a full featured Free Software Wiki, CMS and Groupware written in PHP. eGroupWare is a web-based collaboration software suite. Both TikiWiki and eGroupWare include a PHP library to handle XML-RPC requests.
The XML-RPC library shipped in TikiWiki and eGroupWare improperly handles XML-RPC requests and responses with malformed nested tags.
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary PHP script code into eval() statements by sending a specially crafted XML document to TikiWiki or eGroupWare.
There is no known workaround at this time.
All TikiWiki users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code Listing 3.1: Resolution |
# emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/tikiwiki-1.8.5-r2" |
All eGroupWare users should upgrade to the latest version:
