Question

Whenever I try to attach files in the Wiki or use the Draw plug-in, Apache complains:

Software error: Insecure dependency in open while running with -T switch at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.2/File/Copy.pm line 130.

I assume that this is because they've plugged a security hole. However, it's broken my working TWiki.

Answer

Could you try this and let us know if it solves the problem? Add the red lines to twiki/bin/upload:

    # Delete unwanted characters from filename, with I18N
    my $nonAlphaNum = "[^${TWiki::mixedAlphaNum}" . '\._-]+';
    $fileName =~ s/${nonAlphaNum}//go;
    $fileName =~ s/$TWiki::uploadFilter/$1\.txt/goi;  # apply security filter 
    $fileName =~ /(.*)/;
    $fileName = $1;
