Andreas Gohr · Dokuwiki · CVE-2009-1960
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
DokuWiki versions 2009-02-14, rc2009-02-06, and rc2009-01-30
Description:
The issue allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files. This can be achieved via the `config cascade[main][default][]` parameter to "doku.php". Additionally, PHP remote file inclusion is possible in PHP 5 using "ftp://" URLs.
Recommendations:
For DokuWiki versions 2009-02-14, rc2009-02-06, and rc2009-01-30, consider disabling the register globals setting to prevent exploitation. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to the "doku.php" endpoint and avoid using the `config cascade[main][default][]` parameter until a patch is available.
