TikiWiki: Multiple vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment 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.
