TikiWiki jhot.php Arbitrary File Uploads Vulnerability

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Tries to run a command through TikiWiki

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP script that permits uploading of
arbitrary files.

Description :

The 'jhot.php' script included with the version of TikiWiki installed
on the remote host permits an unauthenticated attacker to upload
arbitrary files to a known directory within the web server's document
root. Provided PHP's 'file_uploads' setting is enabled, which is true
by default, this flaw can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on
the affected host, subject to the rights of the web server user
id.
