Checks for multiple vulnerabilities in PmWiki < 2.1 beta 21 Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities. Description : The remote host is running PmWiki, an open-source Wiki written in PHP. The version of PmWiki installed on the remote host permits attackers to overwrite global variables if run under PHP 5 with 'register_globals' enabled. For example, a possible hacker can exploit this issue to overwrite the 'FarmD' variable before it's used in a PHP 'include()' function in the 'pmwiki.php' script, which can permit him to view arbitrary files on the remote host and even execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.
