Title: Apple Mac OS X Server Wiki Server Directory Traversal Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

Mac OS X Server 10.5 (Leopard) provides a Wiki Server used to collaboratively create websites.

Wiki Server is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input data.

A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability using specially crafted HTTP headers along with directory-traversal strings (such as '../') to access arbitrary files outside of the application's document root directory.

This issue can allow attackers to obtain sensitive information that could aid in launching further attacks.

Note that attackers must be registered wiki users to exploit this issue.

Wiki Server from Mac OS X Server 10.5 is vulnerable.

Affected Products:

  • Apple Mac OS X 10.5.2
  • Apple Mac OS X Server 10.5
  • Apple Mac OS X Server 10.5.2
  • Apple Wiki Server 10.5
