Tracker summary

CVE-2008-5186 unimportant priority: Debian including 2 source packages (dokuwiki, geshi), 10 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 10.

Description:

The set_language_path function in geshi.php in Generic Syntax Highlighter (GeSHi) before 1.0.8.1 might allow remote attackers to conduct file inclusion attacks via crafted inputs that influence the default language path ($path variable). NOTE: this issue has been disputed by a vendor, stating that only a static value is used, so this is not a vulnerability in GeSHi. Separate CVE identifiers would be created for web applications that integrate GeSHi in a way that allows control of the default language path
