[GLSA-200611-11] TikiWiki: Multiple vulnerabilities Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary
TikiWiki: Multiple vulnerabilities
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200611-11
(TikiWiki: Multiple vulnerabilities)
In numerous files TikiWiki provides an empty sort_mode parameter,
causing TikiWiki to display additional information, including database
authentication credentials, in certain error messages. TikiWiki also
improperly sanitizes the "url" request variable sent to
tiki-featured_link.php.
Impact
A possible hacker could cause a database error in various pages of a TikiWiki
instance by providing an empty sort_mode request variable, and gain
unauthorized access to credentials of the MySQL databases used by
TikiWiki. A possible hacker could also entice a user to browse to a specially
crafted URL that could run scripts in the scope of the user's browser.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
