CVE-2006-0479
CVSS v2.0
4.3
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
PmWiki version 2.1 beta 20
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to bypass protection mechanisms by setting both a GPC variable and a GLOBALS[] variable with the same name. This causes PmWiki to unset the GLOBALS[] variable but not the GPC variable, resulting in vulnerabilities such as remote file inclusion and cross-site scripting (XSS).
Recommendations
For PmWiki version 2.1 beta 20, consider disabling the register globals setting to prevent exploitation. Additionally, restrict access to the pmwiki.php file to minimize the risk of remote file inclusion and cross-site scripting attacks.
