MoniWiki file extensions file upload
| moniwiki-file-upload (18493) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
MoniWiki is a Wiki Web program. MoniWiki version 1.0.9.2 and possibly other versions could allow a remote attacker to upload malicious files, caused by improper handling of file uploads when a filename contains multiple file extensions. If MoniWiki is running on Apache HTTP server and the mod_mime and the mod_php modules are installed, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to upload malicious files to the Web root directory, and possibly execute arbitrary code on the system.
Note: JSBoard version 1.3.11 and 2.0.8 are also affected by this vulnerability.
Consequences:
File Manipulation
Remedy:
For MoniWiki:
Reportedly, this vulnerability has been fixed in the CVS repository. See References.
For JSBoard:
Upgrade to the latest version (1.3.13 or 2.0.9 or later), available from the JSBoard Download Web page. See References.
As a workaround, disable the mod_mime module.
