Tikiwiki: SQL injection and multiple XSS vulnerabilities

Background

Tikiwiki is a web-based groupware and content management system (CMS), using PHP, ADOdb and Smarty.

Description

Tikiwiki fails to properly sanitize user input before processing it, including in SQL statements.

Impact

An attacker could execute arbitrary SQL statements on the underlying database, or inject arbitrary scripts into the context of a user’s browser.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Tikiwiki users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync
 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-apps/tikiwiki-1.9.4"
