Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability has been found in Zavy86 WikiDocs up to 1.0.78 and classified as problematic. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file template.inc.php. The manipulation of the argument path leads to cross site scripting. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
AnalysisAI
Cross-site scripting (XSS) in WikiDocs up to version 1.0.78 allows remote attackers to inject malicious scripts via the path parameter in template.inc.php, requiring user interaction to trigger. The vulnerability has publicly available exploit code and carries a low CVSS score (2.1) due to its reliance on user interaction and limited impact scope, though the EPSS score of 0.10% suggests minimal real-world exploitation likelihood despite public disclosure.
Technical ContextAI
WikiDocs is a lightweight PHP-based wiki system. The vulnerability exists in the template.inc.php file, where user-supplied input from the path parameter is not properly sanitized before being output to the page, violating CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation). The attack exploits inadequate input validation in a PHP server-side template rendering function, allowing attacker-controlled path values to be reflected in HTTP responses without HTML encoding or contextual escaping, leading to DOM-based or reflected XSS execution in user browsers.
RemediationAI
Upgrade WikiDocs to a version newer than 1.0.78 if a patched release is available. If no patch has been released, implement HTML entity encoding (using PHP functions like htmlspecialchars() or htmlentities()) on the path parameter before output in template.inc.php, specifically encoding it with the ENT_QUOTES flag and UTF-8 charset to prevent both single and double-quote escaping. Apply Content Security Policy (CSP) headers with 'script-src' restrictions to mitigate reflected XSS impact. Monitor the WikiDocs GitHub repository (https://github.com/Zavy86/WikiDocs/issues/256) for patch announcements. If patch status is unclear, restrict network access to WikiDocs instances via firewall rules or require authentication via reverse proxy to reduce exposure.
