Details
Description: The script that is installed to /usr/bin/ contains a "cd" to another directory (/usr/share/nikto/). This means that when a user gives an output flag to nikto, nikto attempts to write the output to /usr/share/nikto/, rather than the user's real working directory.
Additional info:
- Nikto v2.1.6
Reproduction Examples (as a non-privileged user):
- nikto -host https://example.com -output example.txt
- nikto -host https://example.com -Save .
