DokuWiki before 2006-03-09c enables the debug feature by default, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by calling doku.php with the X-DOKUWIKI-DO HTTP header set to "debug". Successful exploitation requires that "register_argc_argv" is enabled, which is the default setting. This vulnerability is addressed in the following product release: Andreas Gohr, DokuWiki, Release 2006-03-09c

Additionally, the accessory scripts installed in the 'bin' DokuWiki directory are vulnerable to directory traversal attacks, allowing to copy and execute the previously injected code. Impact : A remote attacker may execute arbitrary PHP (and thus probably system) commands with the permissions of the user running the process serving DokuWiki pages. Workaround : Disable remote access to the 'bin' subdirectory of the DokuWiki installation. Remove the directory if you don't use the scripts in there." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"see_also", value:"https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/200609-10" ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"solution", value: "All DokuWiki users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=www-apps/dokuwiki-20060309d'" ); script_set_cvss_base_vector("CVSS2#AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"plugin_type", value:"local"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"p-cpe:/a:gentoo:linux:dokuwiki"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"cpe", value:"cpe:/o:gentoo:linux"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"patch_publication_date", value:"2006/09/14"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"plugin_publication_date", value:"2006/09/15"); script_set_attribute(attribute:"vuln_publication_date", value:"2006/09/07"); script_end_attributes(); script_category(ACT_GATHER_INFO); script_copyright(english:"This script is Copyright (C) 2006-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc."); script_family(english:"Gentoo Local Security Checks"); script_dependencies("ssh_get_info.nasl"); script_require_keys("Host/local_checks_enabled", "Host/Gentoo/release", "Host/Gentoo/qpkg-list"); exit(0); } include("audit.inc"); include("global_settings.inc"); include("qpkg.inc"); if (!get_kb_item("Host/local_checks_enabled")) audit(AUDIT_LOCAL_CHECKS_NOT_ENABLED); if (!get_kb_item("Host/Gentoo/release")) audit(AUDIT_OS_NOT, "Gentoo"); if (!get_kb_item("Host/Gentoo/qpkg-list")) audit(AUDIT_PACKAGE_LIST_MISSING); flag = 0; if (qpkg_check(package:"www-apps/dokuwiki", unaffected:make_list("ge 20060309d"), vulnerable:make_list("lt 20060309d"))) flag++; if (flag) { if (report_verbosity > 0) security_hole(port:0, extra:qpkg_report_get()); else security_hole(0); exit(0); } else { tested = qpkg_tests_get(); if (tested) audit(AUDIT_PACKAGE_NOT_AFFECTED, tested); else audit(AUDIT_PACKAGE_NOT_INSTALLED, "DokuWiki"); }
