Multiple unrestricted file upload vulnerabilities in the (1) twikidraw (action/twikidraw.py) and (2) anywikidraw (action/anywikidraw.py) actions in MoinMoin before 1.9.6 allow remote authenticated users with write permissions to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with an executable extension, then accessing it via a direct request to the file in an unspecified directory, as exploited in the wild in July 2012.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-6081 is a MoinMoin wiki flaw where authenticated users with write permission could upload executable files through drawing features and run them by requesting the uploaded file. That can turn normal wiki write access into server code execution. Public CVE text says it was exploited in the wild in July 2012. Exposure is likely limited to MoinMoin installations before 1.9.6 where twikidraw or anywikidraw was available and untrusted or compromised authenticated users had write permission. Public-facing wikis and legacy distro packages deserve priority review. Treat this as high priority for any remaining legacy MoinMoin deployment. The issue can convert wiki write access into server compromise, and historical exploitation is documented. If MoinMoin is no longer business-critical, retirement may be safer than prolonged exception handling. Mitigation focus: Upgrade MoinMoin to 1.9.6 or a vendor-fixed package.; Apply relevant Debian or Ubuntu security updates where packaged MoinMoin is used.; Review vendor guidance before disabling or changing drawing actions..
