A vulnerability has been identified in TWiki, which may be exploited by remote attackers to gain access to arbitrary files on a vulnerable system. This flaw is due to an input validation error in the "lib/TWiki/UI/View.pm" script that does not validate the "filename" parameter, which could be exploited by remote attackers to access and read the contents of arbitrary files.
