(TWiki: Arbitrary command execution)

    The TWiki search function, which uses a shell command executed via the
    Perl backtick operator, does not properly escape shell metacharacters
    in the user-provided search string.
  
Impact :

    An attacker can insert malicious commands into a search request,
    allowing the execution of arbitrary commands with the privileges of the
    user running TWiki (usually the Web server user).
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
