PhpWiki: Arbitrary command execution through XML-RPC

PhpWiki: Arbitrary command execution through XML-RPC PhpWiki includes PHP XML-RPC code which is vulnerable to arbitrary command execution. phpwiki 2005-08-26 2005-08-26 102380 remote 1.3.10-r2 1.3.10-r2

PhpWiki is an application that creates a web site where anyone can edit the pages through HTML forms.

Earlier versions of PhpWiki contain an XML-RPC library that improperly handles XML-RPC requests and responses with malformed nested tags.

A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to inject arbitrary PHP script code into eval() statements by sending a specially crafted XML document to PhpWiki.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All PhpWiki users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/phpwiki-1.3.10-r2"
