Q1What is this vulnerability? (Essence + Consequences)
π¨ **Essence**: Local File Inclusion (LFI) in Lionwiki. π **Consequences**: Unauthenticated attackers can read sensitive files on the server as the web server user. π **Impact**: Data leakage, potential system compromise.
Q2Root Cause? (CWE/Flaw)
π‘οΈ **CWE**: Local File Inclusion (LFI). π **Flaw**: The `f1` variable in `index.php` accepts crafted strings without proper sanitization, allowing path traversal.β¦
π¦ **Product**: Lionwiki (PHP-based wiki system). π **Affected**: Versions **before 3.2.12**. β οΈ **Note**: This product is **no longer maintained** by the Lionwiki team. π« **Vendor**: n/a (Community project).
Q4What can hackers do? (Privileges/Data)
π€ **Privileges**: Runs as **web server user** (e.g., www-data). π **Data Access**: Can read **any file** accessible to the web server. π **Scope**: Unauthenticated access. No login required to exploit.
Q5Is exploitation threshold high? (Auth/Config)
π **Auth**: **None required**. Unauthenticated. βοΈ **Config**: Exploitable via URL parameter `index.php?f1=...`. π― **Threshold**: **Low**. Easy to trigger via simple HTTP requests.
π **Scan**: Use Nuclei with CVE-2020-27191 template. π΅οΈ **Check**: Look for Lionwiki instances with `index.php` and `f1` parameter. π **Feature**: Verify if version < 3.2.12.β¦
π§ **Fix**: Upgrade to **Lionwiki 3.2.12** or later. π **Reality**: Product is **abandoned**. No official patches for older versions. π« **Status**: End-of-life.β¦
π§ **Workaround**: **Disable** the application if not needed. π‘οΈ **WAF**: Block requests containing `f1=` with path traversal chars (e.g., `../`). π« **Access Control**: Restrict access to `index.php` via firewall/ACL.β¦
π₯ **Priority**: **High** for affected systems. β³ **Urgency**: Critical due to **unauthenticated** nature. π **Risk**: High because software is **unsupported**. π¨ **Action**: Immediate remediation or isolation required.
