WHERE:

SOFTWARE:
TikiWiki 1.x

DESCRIPTION:
securfrog has discovered some vulnerabilities in TikiWiki, which can
be exploited by malicious people to disclose certain sensitive
information and to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
1) The problem is caused due to the application returning system
variables in SQL error messages. This can be exploited to disclose
the database username and password, and the full installation path
e.g. by omitting the "sort_mode" parameter in various scripts.
2) Input passed to the "url" parameter in tiki-featured_link.php is
not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.9.5 on PHP5. Other
versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Vulnerability #1 is reportedly fixed in the CVS repository. Edit the
source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
