Detail

Hello,

My name is Netanel Rubin, I work as a vulnerability researcher at Check Point Software Technologies.

This is a critical vulnerability report for an issue I discovered in the TWiki platform. The successful exploitation of the vulnerability allows an attacker to execute Perl code unauthenticated. The vulnerability has been discovered in a fully patched TWiki (ver 6.0.0).

We would like to report the complete vulnerability description over a private channel. Please contact us at netanelr@checkpointNOSPAM.com and shahartal@checkpointNOSPAM.com (my team leader).
If possible, we would also like to coordinate the public disclosure with you.

Best regards,
Netanel.
