MoinMoin developers report the following vulnerabilities
as fixed in version 1.9.6:
- remote code execution vulnerability in
twikidraw/anywikidraw action,
- path traversal vulnerability in AttachFile action,
- XSS issue, escape page name in rss link.
CVE entries at MITRE furher clarify:
Multiple unrestricted file upload vulnerabilities in the
(1) twikidraw (action/twikidraw.py) and (2) anywikidraw
(action/anywikidraw.py) actions in MoinMoin before 1.9.6
allow remote authenticated users with write permissions to
execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with an
executable extension, then accessing it via a direct request
to the file in an unspecified directory, as exploited in the
wild in July 2012.
Directory traversal vulnerability in the
_do_attachment_move function in the AttachFile action
(action/AttachFile.py) in MoinMoin 1.9.3 through 1.9.5
allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a
.. (dot dot) in a file name.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the rsslink
function in theme/__init__.py in MoinMoin 1.9.5 allows
remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML
via the page name in a rss link.
