Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server contains PHP script that is affected by a remote file include vulnerability.Description
The remote installation of DokuWiki fails to sanitize user input to the 'config_cascade' parameter array before using it in 'inc/init.php' to include PHP code. Provided PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, an attacker can leverage this flaw to view files on the local host or to execute arbitrary PHP code, possibly taken from third-party hosts.Solution
Either disable PHP's 'register_globals' setting or upgrade to DokuWiki 2009-02-14b or later.See Also
