Loading vulnerability…
Tikiwiki 1.9.5 contains an information disclosure vulnerability in multiple PHP scripts. When the sort_mode parameter is left empty in requests to various scripts (such as tiki-listpages.php, tiki-lastchanges.php, and others), the application fails to properly handle the input, resulting in database errors that disclose sensitive information, including the MySQL username and password, in the error messages returned to the user.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module (modules/auxiliary/admin/tikiwiki/tikidblib.rb) targeting an information disclosure vulnerability in TikiWiki version 1.9.5 (CVE-2006-5702). The exploit works by sending a specially crafted HTTP GET request to the /tiki-lastchanges.php endpoint of a vulnerable TikiWiki installation, manipulating the sort_mode parameter to trigger a MySQL error. This error causes the application to disclose sensitive database configuration information, including the MySQL username and password, database name, host, and installation path. The module is operational and provides direct output of the extracted credentials. The only required input is the URI path to the TikiWiki installation (default: /tikiwiki). The code is written in Ruby and is designed to be run within the Metasploit framework.
