CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in DokuWiki (Content Management System). Affected is an unknown part of the file lib/plugins/acl/ajax.php. The manipulation of the argument ns with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. CVE summarizes:

Directory traversal vulnerability in the ACL Manager plugin (plugins/acl/ajax.php) in DokuWiki before 2009-12-25b allows remote attackers to list the contents of arbitrary directories via a .. (dot dot) in the ns parameter.

The weakness was disclosed 01/13/2010 (Website). The advisory is shared for download at exploit-db.com. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2010-0287 since 01/12/2010. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploitation doesn't require any form of authentication. Technical details and a public exploit are known. The MITRE ATT&CK project declares the attack technique as T1006.

A public exploit has been developed by IHTeam and been published 1 days after the advisory. The exploit is shared for download at exploit-db.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. By approaching the search of inurl:lib/plugins/acl/ajax.php it is possible to find vulnerable targets with Google Hacking. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 44049 (FreeBSD : dokuwiki -- multiple vulnerabilities (848539dc-0458-11df-8dd7-002170daae37)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family FreeBSD Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 116876 (Fedora Update for DokuWiki (FEDORA-2010-0800, FEDORA-2010-0770)).

Upgrading to version Release 2009-02-14 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (55660), Exploit-DB (11141), Tenable (44049), SecurityFocus (BID 37821†) and OSVDB (61709†). The entry VDB-51853 is pretty similar. Once again VulDB remains the best source for vulnerability data.
