MediaWiki < 1.3.11 Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 18035

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains several PHP scripts that are prone to multiple flaws, including arbitrary code execution.

Description

The remote host appears is running a version of MediaWiki prior to 1.3.11. It is, therefore, affected by various vulnerabilities, including some that allow an attacker to execute arbitrary PHP code on the remote host.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to MediaWiki 1.3.11 or later.
