OVERVIEW

        TikiWiki 1.9.9 has been released fixing four security flaws. [1]


IMPACT

        A path transversal vulnerability was found by Jesus Olmos Gonzalez
        in tiki-listmovies.php. This allows an attacker to read arbitrary
        files.

        A Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in
        tiki-special_chars.php by Mesut Timur. This would allow an attacker
        to execute scripts on a user's web browser.

        Two other vulnerabilities were discovered in tiki-edit_css.php,
        tiki-list_games.php, and tiki-g-admin_shared_source.php. The impact
        of these vulnerabilities is unknown.


MITIGATION

        The TikiWiki development team has released version 1.9.9 to correct
        these vulnerabilities. All users are recommended to upgrade. [2]
