CVE-2025-34111: CWE-434 Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type in Tiki Software Community Association Wiki CMS Groupware
An unauthenticated arbitrary file upload vulnerability exists in Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware version 15.1 and earlier via the ELFinder component's default connector (connector.minimal.php), which allows remote attackers to upload and execute malicious PHP scripts in the context of the web server. The vulnerable component does not enforce file type validation, allowing attackers to craft a POST request to upload executable PHP payloads through the ELFinder interface exposed at /vendor_extra/elfinder/.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability (CVE-2025-34111) affects Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware up to version 15.1 due to improper validation in the ELFinder file manager's default connector (connector.minimal.php). The lack of file type enforcement allows unauthenticated attackers to upload arbitrary PHP files, which can then be executed on the web server, leading to remote code execution. The attack vector is network-based with no required privileges or user interaction, making it highly exploitable. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-434 (Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type), CWE-306 (Missing Authentication for Critical Function), and CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation).
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected server with the privileges of the web server process. This can lead to full system compromise, data theft, service disruption, or further attacks within the network. The vulnerability is unauthenticated and remotely exploitable, increasing the risk of widespread abuse. No known exploits in the wild have been reported yet.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, it is recommended to restrict access to the ELFinder interface, disable or remove the vulnerable ELFinder component if not needed, or implement web application firewall (WAF) rules to block malicious upload attempts targeting /vendor_extra/elfinder/. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply official patches once available.
