**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
ErfurtWiki versions R1.02b and earlier
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via directory traversal vulnerabilities. This can be achieved by using a .. (dot dot) in the `ewiki id` and `ewiki action` parameters to "fragments/css.php", and possibly the `id` parameter to the default URI. The default URI is site-specific but often performs an include once of ewiki.php.
**Recommendations**
For ErfurtWiki versions R1.02b and earlier, consider disabling the `register globals` setting to mitigate the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the "fragments/css.php" file and the default URI to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `ewiki id`, `ewiki action`, and `id` parameters in the affected API endpoints until the issue is resolved.
