Synopsis
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in TikiWiki, some of them
having unknown impact.
2.
Impact Information
Background
TikiWiki is an open source content management system written in PHP.
Description
- Jesus Olmos Gonzalez from isecauditors reported insufficient
sanitization of the "movies" parameter in file tiki-listmovies.php
(CVE-2007-6528).
- Mesut Timur from H-Labs discovered that the
input passed to the "area_name" parameter in file
tiki-special_chars.php is not properly sanitised before being returned
to the user (CVE-2007-6526).
- redflo reported multiple
unspecified vulnerabilities in files tiki-edit_css.php,
tiki-list_games.php, and tiki-g-admin_shared_source.php
(CVE-2007-6529).
Impact
A remote attacker can craft the "movies" parameter to run a directory
traversal attack through a ".." sequence and read the first 1000 bytes
of any arbitrary file, or conduct a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack
through the "area_name" parameter. This attack can be exploited to
execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session,
allowing for the theft of browser session data or cookies in the
context of the affected web site. The impacts of the unspecified
vulnerabilities are still unknown.
