Wikka Local File Include Vulnerability |
||
|
Tries to read a local file in Wikka Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a local file include issue. Description : The remote host is running Wikka, a lightweight, open-source wiki application written in PHP. The version of Wikka installed on the remote host has a programming error in the 'Method()-method' in 'wikka.php'. By leveraging this issue, an unauthenticated attacker may be able to access arbitrary PHP files on the affected host and execute them, subject to the rights of the web server user id. Note that successful exploitation is unaffected by the setting of PHP 'register_globals' but only works with files with the extension '.php'.
