+ <title>TWiki: Arbitrary command execution</title>

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ TWiki is a Web-based groupware tool based around the concept of wiki
+ pages that can be edited by anybody with a Web browser.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ The TWiki search function, which uses a shell command executed via the
+ Perl backtick operator, does not properly escape shell metacharacters
+ in the user-provided search string.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ An attacker can insert malicious commands into a search request,
+ allowing the execution of arbitrary commands with the privileges of the
+ user running TWiki (usually the Web server user).
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All TWiki users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=www-apps/twiki-20040902&quot;</code>
