Checks for multiple vulnerabilities in TikiWiki < 1.8.6 / 1.9.1 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 TikiWiki, an open-source wiki application written in PHP. The version of TikiWiki installed on the remote host fails to sanitize input to the 'language' parameter of the 'tiki-user_preferences.php' script before using it in a PHP 'include' function. An authenticated attacker can leverage this issue by specifying a path with directory traversal sequences to read arbitrary files and possibly execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host, subject to the rights of the web server user id. In addition, it also fails to sanitize input to the 'suck_url' parameter of the 'tiki-editpage.php' script before using it to read files. With a specially-crafted request, an unauthenticated attacker can exploit this issues to read arbitrary files on the remote host.
