    <p>
    Tikiwiki is a web-based groupware and content management system,
    developed with PHP, ADOdb and Smarty.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>
    A vulnerability in jhot.php allows for an unrestricted file upload to
    the img/wiki/ directory. Additionally, an XSS exists in the highlight
    parameter of tiki-searchindex.php.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    An attacker could execute arbitrary code with the rights of the user
    running the web server by uploading a file and executing it via a
    filepath parameter. The XSS could be exploited to inject and execute
    malicious script code or to steal cookie-based authentication
    credentials, potentially compromising the victim's browser.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All Tikiwiki users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --oneshot --verbose --ask &quot;&gt;=www-apps/tikiwiki-1.9.5&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
