MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires the target to run YesWiki before version 4.6.7 and depends on the mail handler endpoint being reachable; the attacker injects via the field parameter, whose value breaks out of the ajax-mail-form action attribute. The primary limiting factor is mandatory user interaction (CVSS UI:A) - a victim must click an attacker-crafted link, making this a phishing/social-engineering-dependent, non-persistent attack rather than autonomous exploitation. No authentication is required of the attacker (PR:N), and the flaw affects the application's handling of the field parameter rather than requiring any special victim-side configuration. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-risk reflected XSS (CWE-79) carrying a vendor/CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.1. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A) confirms network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation but critically requires victim interaction (UI:A) - the attacker must lure a user into clicking a crafted link. Impact is confined to subsequent-system confidentiality and integrity (SC:L/SI:L) with no impact to the vulnerable system itself (VC:N/VI:N/VA:N), consistent with client-side script execution rather than server compromise. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC indicator is present in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no signal of active exploitation; the reflected (non-persistent) nature further limits scale to targeted, per-victim phishing rather than mass exploitation. In short, this is a legitimate but lower-tier priority: real and unauthenticated, but gated by user interaction and lacking any exploitation-probability evidence. A patch is available (4.6.7), making remediation straightforward and the pragmatic response. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious URL targeting a YesWiki site's mail handler with a field parameter value that breaks out of the ajax-mail-form action attribute and injects JavaScript. The attacker delivers this link via phishing or a malicious post; when a victim clicks it, the script executes in their browser session, enabling session/cookie theft or UI manipulation. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires the victim to interact with the crafted link. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 02, 2026
Reflected cross-site scripting in YesWiki versions prior to 4.6.7 lets an unauthenticated remote attacker inject JavaScript through the 'field' parameter of the mail handler, breaking out of the ajax-mail-form action attribute and executing script in the victim's browser context. Exploitation is not autonomous: the CVSS:4.0 vector carries UI:A and the assessed CVSS:3.1 vector carries UI:R, so a victim must click an attacker-crafted link, making this a phishing-style, social-engineering-dependent attack that does not require the attacker to hold any account (PR:N). The vendor/CVSS 4.0 base score is 5.1 and no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis; scope is changed (S:C) with only low confidentiality and integrity impact, and the primary mitigating factor is the mandatory victim interaction.
RemediationAI
Upgrade YesWiki to version 4.6.7 or later, the release in which the vendor fixed the mail-handler field parameter handling (vendor-released patch: 4.6.7); consult the GitHub security advisory GHSA-2fc6-rvp3-fgfj at https://github.com/YesWiki/yeswiki/security/advisories/GHSA-2fc6-rvp3-fgfj and the VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/yeswiki-before-4.6.7-reflected-xss-via-field-parameter-in-mail-handler for confirmation before upgrading, and redeploy any customized templates that override the mail form. If an immediate upgrade is not possible, the most effective compensating control is to disable or block access to the mail handler and its ajax-mail-form endpoint (for example via web server or reverse proxy rules) until the patch is applied - the trade-off being that contact/mail functionality stops working for legitimate users. Contextual output encoding of the field value for the HTML attribute context can be applied as a temporary code-level mitigation, but it must be verified against all call sites of the mail form and carries regression risk for other parameter handling; since the attack is reflected and user-interaction-dependent, user awareness around unsolicited mail-form links offers limited additional protection. No public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation were identified at time of analysis, so this should be prioritized as a moderate-risk, patch-on-normal-cycle item rather than an emergency response.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is a classic CWE-79 improper neutralization of input during web page generation, manifesting as reflected rather than stored XSS. YesWiki's mail handler renders a form whose action attribute is built as 'ajax-mail-form' and includes an attacker-controllable 'field' value; because that value is not contextually encoded for the HTML attribute context, a crafted parameter can terminate the attribute and introduce arbitrary markup or script that the victim's browser then executes in the origin of the YesWiki instance. The affected component set is captured by the CPE cpe:2.3:a:yeswiki:yeswiki:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* - i.e., the whole YesWiki product line up to, but not including, 4.6.7, matching ENISA EUVD-2026-91476 which lists the range '0 to <4.6.7'. As a reflected XSS, no server-side state is persisted; each execution depends on delivering a malicious link to a logged-in or anonymous user and on the mail handler endpoint being reachable on the target deployment. Impact is scoped (S:C) because the injected script runs in the site's origin rather than a sandboxed one, but the assessed C/I/A values are low.

Reflected XSS is network-exploitable and unauthenticated (AV:N/PR:N) but needs victim click (UI:R); script runs in browser so scope changes (S:C) with low C/I and no availability impact.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
YesWiki before 4.6.7 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject scripts via the field parameter of the mail handler. Attackers can craft links whose field value breaks out of the ajax-mail-form action attribute to execute JavaScript in victims' browsers.
