The default file type whitelist configuration in conf/mime.conf in the Media Manager in DokuWiki before 2014-09-29b allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script or HTML by uploading an SWF file, then accessing it via the media parameter to lib/exe/fetch.php.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older DokuWiki installations allowed SWF files through the default Media Manager file whitelist. An attacker who could upload media could make the wiki serve that file in a way that runs script or HTML in a user’s browser. The issue is fixed in DokuWiki 2014-09-29b. Exposure is most likely on legacy DokuWiki instances older than 2014-09-29b where users or attackers can upload media, especially public or broadly editable wikis. The source bundle does not identify affected packaged versions beyond pre-2014-09-29b DokuWiki. Prioritize remediation for internet-facing or open-contribution DokuWiki sites. The business risk is browser-side compromise of wiki users, not direct server takeover in the supplied evidence. Legacy internal-only instances are lower urgency but should still be upgraded or hardened. Mitigation focus: Upgrade DokuWiki to 2014-09-29b or a later supported release.; Review vendor change notes and the referenced fix commit for deployment guidance.; Remove SWF from allowed media upload types if still present..
