JSPWiki Edit.jsp file include
| jspwiki-edit-file-include (40508) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
JSPWiki could allow a remote attacker to include arbitrary files. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted URL request to the Edit.jsp script using the editor parameter to specify a malicious file from the local system, which could allow the attacker to obtain sensitive information or execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable Web server.
Note: In order to exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code, the attacker would first be required to upload a malicious file or inject arbitrary commands into an existing file.
Platforms Affected:
- Dan Johnsson, JSPWiki 2.4.104
- Dan Johnsson, JSPWiki 2.5.139
Remedy:
Upgrade to the latest version of JSPWiki (2.6.1 or later), available from the JSPWiki Web site. See References.
