1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Requires a valid authenticated YesWiki account of any privilege level (CVSS PR:L); the flaw lets that user send an empty filter to the triples delete API so ownership scoping is skipped, enabling deletion or forgery of arbitrary semantic triples. No non-default configuration, platform constraint, or user interaction is needed, and the destructive admin-lockout path specifically targets the admins-group membership triple. The sole meaningful limiting factor is that the instance must allow the attacker to hold (or register) an authenticated account; purely single-admin or registration-closed instances reduce the attacker pool.

Impact

This is a genuine integrity/availability risk but not an emergency. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) confirms network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring only low privileges - i.e. any authenticated user, with no user interaction. CWE-863 (improper authorization) aligns with the description's 'scope bypass regardless of ownership.' Impact is VI:H/VA:H with VC:N, consistent with a vulnerability that forges/deletes data and can lock out administration but does not expose confidential data. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public POC were provided in the intelligence, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The practical priority is driven by low exploitation barrier plus a severe, self-inflicted denial-of-service outcome (admin group emptied → site-wide authorization lockout), tempered by the need for a pre-existing authenticated account and the limited real-world footprint of YesWiki. Net: a real, patch-now issue for operators of multi-user YesWiki instances, but lower urgency than a pre-auth RCE given the PR:L requirement and absence of exploitation signals.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A low-privileged but authenticated YesWiki user (e.g. a self-registered contributor) sends a crafted request with an empty filter to the triples delete API endpoint. Because the empty filter bypasses ownership scoping, the request deletes the triple defining admins-group membership, emptying the admin group and locking all legitimate administrators out of the site. No public POC was provided in the intelligence, though the flaw is low-complexity and trivially reproducible once an account exists.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 02, 2026

Authenticated users on YesWiki instances running versions prior to 4.6.7 can bypass ownership scoping in the triples delete API by submitting an empty filter, letting them delete or forge arbitrary semantic triples regardless of who owns them (CWE-863, CVSS 7.2). The most damaging abuse path removes the triple that records admins-group membership, emptying the administrator group and locking every administrator out of the site's authorization layer. The flaw is network-reachable and requires only a low-privilege authenticated account (CVSS PR:L) with no user interaction; no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vendor has released a fix in 4.6.7.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade to YesWiki 4.6.7 or later, which fixes the empty-filter scope bypass in the triples delete API; installation instructions and the full advisory are at https://github.com/YesWiki/yeswiki/security/advisories/GHSA-9j7h-ccj2-jxv6, with additional context at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/yeswiki-before-4.6.7-scope-bypass-via-triples-delete-api. If immediate upgrade is not possible, reduce the exploited attack surface first by closing self-registration and auditing existing accounts so the attacker pool of authenticated users shrinks, accepting the trade-off that community wikis lose open enrollment. Restrict or temporarily disable the triples delete API for non-administrator roles (for example by blocking the endpoint at the reverse proxy or WAF for standard accounts, including requests carrying an empty filter value), understanding that this may break legitimate bulk semantic-data maintenance and could require a temporary administrator-only workflow. Take and retain a current backup or database export of the triple store so that a deleted admins-group membership triple can be reinserted directly if a lockout occurs, and restore administrator access through direct database/CLI intervention, since the normal in-application authorization path will be unusable once the admins group is emptied. Enable logging and alerting on delete requests to the triples endpoint to detect attempted mass deletions.

Technical ContextAI · show details

YesWiki is an open-source PHP wiki/CMS that stores structured data as semantic triples (subject-predicate-object statements) in its triple store, and it reuses that same store to represent group memberships such as the admins group. The triples delete API accepts a filter used to select which triples should be removed, and the authorization layer derived the ownership scope from that same filter value rather than from the authenticated user's identity. When an empty filter was supplied, the scope check was effectively skipped and the delete operation was applied across the store (CWE-863 Incorrect Authorization). The CPE cpe:2.3:a:yeswiki:yeswiki:* combined with the EUVD range "yeswiki 0 <4.6.7" confirms that all releases before 4.6.7 are affected, and the independent assessment (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H) rates confidentiality impact as none while integrity and availability are high, consistent with a destructive data-manipulation flaw rather than an information disclosure issue.

DescriptionCVE.org

YesWiki before 4.6.7 contains an empty-filter scope bypass in the triples delete API that allows any authenticated user to delete or forge arbitrary semantic triples regardless of ownership. Attackers can send an empty filter to the triples delete endpoint to remove the admins-group membership triple, emptying the admin group and causing a site-wide authorization lockout.

Technical POC Analysis

Note on evidence: the supplied GHSA lists affected versions <= 4.6.6, "Patched versions: None", "CVE ID: No known CVE", CVSS 8.1, and "no post-v4.6.6 fix on HEAD".

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

YesWiki instances running versions prior to 4.6.7 are vulnerable to a high-severity flaw that allows any authenticated low-privilege user to delete or forge arbitrary semantic triples, including the triple that tracks administrator group membership. This can result in the complete lockout of all site administrators and loss of authorization control, potentially disrupting operations and enabling further abuse. Leadership should prioritize patching because the vulnerability is network-reachable, requires no user interaction, and directly threatens the integrity of the site's access control model.
