Synopsis
The remote web server contains a Python application that suffers from an input sanitation vulnerability.Description
The remote host is running MoinMoin, a wiki application written in Python.The version of MoinMoin installed on the remote host fails to validate input to the 'MOIN_ID' cookie before using it to read and write user profiles. By providing the name of a file that exists on the remote host and is writable by the web server user id, an unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to exploit this issue to corrupt files, possibly even injecting arbitrary PHP code that could later be executed subject to the privileges of the web server user id.
