A vulnerability has been identified in DokuWiki, which may be exploited by attackers to compromise a vulnerable web server. This flaw is due to an input validation error in the spell checker that does not properly filter embedded links before being passed to a "preg_replace()" call, which may be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP commands with the privileges of the web server.
