Synopsis
========

TikiWiki includes PHP XML-RPC code, making it vulnerable to arbitrary
command execution.

Background
==========

TikiWiki is a web-based groupware and content management system (CMS),
using PHP, ADOdb and Smarty. TikiWiki includes vulnerable PHP XML-RPC
code.

Affected packages
=================

Description
===========

TikiWiki is vulnerable to arbitrary command execution as described in
GLSA 200507-01.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary
PHP code by sending specially crafted XML data.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
