**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Tikiwiki versions 1.9.x
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via malformed nested HTML tags. This can be done through various parameters in different PHP files, including `offset` and `days` in "tiki-lastchanges.php", `find` and `offset` in "tiki-orphan pages.php", `offset` and `initial` in "tiki-listpages.php", and an unspecified field in "tiki-remind password.php". Additionally, remote authenticated users with admin privileges can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified fields in various admin PHP files, including "tiki-admin.php", "tiki-admin rssmodules.php", "tiki-syslog.php", "tiki-adminusers.php", "tiki-admin hotwords.php", "tiki-admin modules.php", "tiki-admin notifications.php", "tiki-admin dsn.php", "tiki-admin content templates.php", and "tiki-admin chat.php". The `offset` parameter is vulnerable in several of these files.
**Recommendations**
For Tikiwiki version 1.9.x, consider disabling the affected PHP files until a patch is available. Restrict access to the vulnerable parameters, such as `offset`, `days`, `find`, `initial`, `numrows`, `Name`, and `Dsn`, to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using unspecified fields in admin actions, such as metatags and "Assign new module", until the issue is resolved. As a temporary workaround, limit the privileges of admin users to reduce the potential impact of the issue.
