Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

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.

Solution

Update the affected package.

Public Exploits


Target Network Port(s): N/A
Target Asset(s): N/A
Exploit Available: True (Metasploit Framework, Exploit-DB, D2 Elliot)
Exploit Ease: Exploits are available

Here's the list of publicly known exploits and PoCs for verifying the FreeBSD : moinmoin -- Multiple vulnerabilities (a264b1b0-5726-11e2-9483-14dae938ec40) vulnerability:

  1. Metasploit: exploit/unix/webapp/moinmoin_twikidraw
    [MoinMoin twikidraw Action Traversal File Upload]
  2. Exploit-DB: exploits/linux/remote/26422.rb
    [EDB-26422: MoinMoin - twikidraw Action Traversal Arbitrary File Upload (Metasploit)]
  3. D2 Elliot: moinmoin_1.9.5_rce.html
    [MoinMoin 1.9.5 RCE]

Before running any exploit against any system, make sure you are authorized by the owner of the target system(s) to perform such activity. In any other case, this would be considered as an illegal activity.
