[Salvatore Bonaccorso]

Source: dokuwiki
Version: 0.0.20160626.a-1
Severity: normal
Tags: security upstream
Forwarded: https://github.com/splitbrain/dokuwiki/issues/1709

Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for dokuwiki. TTBOMK, it
looks like upstream does not plan to address this/plan to mark it as
wontfix.

CVE-2016-7965[0]:
| DokuWiki 2016-06-26a and older uses $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST] instead of the
| baseurl setting as part of the password-reset URL. This can lead to
| phishing attacks. (A remote unauthenticated attacker can change the
| URL's hostname via the HTTP Host header.) The vulnerability can be
| triggered only if the Host header is not part of the web server routing
| process (e.g., if several domains are served by the same web server).

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
