pmwiki.php in PmWiki 2.1 beta 20, with register_globals enabled, allows remote attackers to bypass protection mechanisms that deregister global variables by setting both a GPC variable and a GLOBALS[] variable with the same name, which causes PmWiki to unset the GLOBALS[] variable but not the GPC variable, which creates resultant vulnerabilities such as remote file inclusion and cross-site scripting (XSS).

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old PmWiki issue affecting PmWiki 2.1 beta 20 when PHP register_globals is enabled. A remote attacker could bypass PmWiki’s global-variable cleanup, creating conditions for issues including remote file inclusion and cross-site scripting. Exposure is likely limited to legacy deployments with that specific beta version and unsafe PHP configuration. Most current environments are unlikely to be exposed. Risk is concentrated in internet-facing legacy PmWiki 2.1 beta 20 installations running PHP with register_globals enabled, especially unmaintained wiki deployments. Prioritize only if legacy PmWiki exists. The business risk can be serious on affected systems because remote file inclusion may lead to broader compromise, but exposure depends on an obsolete beta version and deprecated PHP setting. Mitigation focus: Inventory public and internal PmWiki deployments for version 2.1 beta 20.; Disable PHP register_globals where present and operationally feasible.; Check PmWiki vendor guidance for the appropriate supported upgrade or fix..
