Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MoinMoin versions 1.5.8 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the MOIN ID user ID in a cookie for a userform action. This can be leveraged for PHP code execution via the quicklinks parameter.

Recommendations For MoinMoin versions 1.5.8 and earlier, update to a version that includes the fix committed in revision e69a16b6e630 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the quicklinks parameter and the MOIN ID user ID in the cookie for the userform action to minimize the risk of exploitation.
