remote code execution via cache action in MoinMoin
Impact
The cache action in action/cache.py allows directory traversal through a crafted HTTP request. An attacker who can upload attachments to
the wiki can use this to achieve remote code execution.
Patches
Users are strongly advised to upgrade to a patched version.
MoinMoin Wiki 1.9.11 has the necessary fixes and also contains other important fixes.
Workarounds
It is not advised to work around this, but to upgrade MoinMoin to a patched version.
That said, a work around via disabling the cache
or the AttachFile
action might be possible.
Also, it is of course helpful if you give write
permissions (which include uploading attachments) only to trusted users.
