Summary

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in ErfurtWiki R1.02b and earlier, when register_globals is enabled, allow remote attackers to include and execute arbitrary local files via a .. (dot dot) in the (1) ewiki_id and (2) ewiki_action parameters to fragments/css.php, and possibly the (3) id parameter to the default URI. NOTE: the default URI is site-specific but often performs an include_once of ewiki.php.

Fencer Vulns keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
