| Detailed Description |
The TikiWiki software is vulnerable to a directory traversal vulnerability in the 'tiki-listmovies.php' script. Tiki CMS/Groupware (aka TikiWiki) is a freely available Content Management System (CMS) and Groupware written in PHP. TikiWiki versions prior to 1.9.9 could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input passed to the 'movie' parameter of the 'tiki-listmovies.php' script. By sending a specially-crafted URL request to the 'tiki-listmovies.php' containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) in the 'movie' parameter, regardless of PHP's 'magic_quotes_gpc' and 'register_globals' settings, a remote attacker could traverse directories and read arbitrary files on the affected system.
