Noroxi assessment

Priority: Plan (action score 44/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 23.1% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 97.7% of all records.
  • Fixed version: dokuwiki (Debian:12) 0.0.20090214b-1.

Add it to your regular patch cycle. Upgrade to dokuwiki (Debian:12) 0.0.20090214b-1 or later.

inc/init.php in DokuWiki 2009-02-14, rc2009-02-06, and rc2009-01-30, when register_globals is enabled, allows remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via the config_cascade[main][default][] parameter to doku.php. NOTE: PHP remote file inclusion is also possible in PHP 5 using ftp:// URLs.

Patch and commit links

Commit, PR and diff links among the references. A starting point for patch-diffing and variant hunting; fixes, not exploits.

No commit or PR link among the references.

Credits

All researchers

Finders, reporters and analysts named in the CNA record. Click a name for that researcher’s other records.

No credits in the CNA record.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
