Detail

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in (1) languages/Language.php and (2) includes/StubObject.php in MediaWiki 1.8.0 and other versions before 1.16.2, when running on Windows and possibly Novell Netware, allow remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local PHP files via vectors related to a crafted language file and the Language::factory function.

Id Description
70799 MediaWiki includes/StubObject.php Language::factory Function Traversal Local ...

MediaWiki contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands or code. The issue is due to the 'includes/StubObject.php' script not properly sanitizing user input, specifically directory traversal style attacks (e.g., ../../) supplied to the 'Language::factory' function. This may allow an attacker to include a PHP file from the targeted host that contains arbitrary commands or code that will be executed by the vulnerable script. Such attacks are limited due to the script only calling files already on the target host. In addition, this flaw can potentially be used to disclose the contents of any file on the system accessible by the web server.
