| Impact | The CVSS v3.1 vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) indicates low-to-moderate risk with a score of 4.3. The attack vector is network-based, attack complexity is low, requires only low-privilege authentication (PR:L), involves no user interaction, and impacts only confidentiality (C:L) within the system's scope. However, the real-world risk is elevated by the nature of exposed data: mod authors' PII (names and email addresses) are exposed to an unlimited number of authenticated users who can enumerate mod pages. While no active exploitation or POC is explicitly documented in the provided intelligence, the triviality of the attack (simple authenticated HTTP requests to predictable URLs) makes it highly automatable. From an SSVC perspective, this represents a situation where exploitation is straightforward and the technical impact (exposure of PII) is concrete. The availability of a security patch (version 1.0.0) further indicates vendor awareness and resolution. Organizations hosting user-generated content or managing author registries should prioritize patching, particularly given potential GDPR/privacy law implications depending on user jurisdiction. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker creates a free account on the Hytale Modding Wiki and begins systematically visiting mod pages (e.g., /mod/slug-name-1, /mod/slug-name-2, etc.) or iterating through known mod identifiers. Due to the IDOR flaw, each page returns the mod author's full name and email address without authorization checks. The attacker harvests this PII for all public mods, enabling phishing attacks, spam campaigns, or identity-based social engineering against mod creators. The attack requires only network access and a valid account, no special tools, and can be fully automated to compromise the privacy of hundreds of mod authors. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 18, 2026
An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in the Hytale Modding Wiki prior to version 1.0.0 allows any authenticated user to access and view mod authors' personal information, including full names and email addresses, by navigating directly to mod pages using their slugs. The vulnerability requires only low-privilege authentication (account creation) and no user interaction, making it trivially exploitable. While the CVSS score is moderate at 4.3, the exposure of personally identifiable information (PII) represents a direct privacy harm to affected mod authors.
RemediationAI
Immediately upgrade the Hytale Modding Wiki to version 1.0.0 or later, which includes the authorization fix committed at https://github.com/HytaleModding/wiki/commit/4a96b3f9bce9a9d34030c39a8d6e4c6b6183f13d. Until patching is completed, temporary mitigation may include restricting wiki access to a smaller set of authenticated users, implementing rate limiting on mod page requests to detect enumeration attempts, or reviewing access logs to identify unauthorized access to author information. Verify that the patch correctly implements per-resource authorization checks before granting access to mod metadata.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability stems from a failure to properly validate authorization on object access, classified under CWE-862 (Missing Authorization). The Hytale Modding Wiki application (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:hytalemodding:wiki:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) appears to implement authentication checks at the account/session level but does not enforce sufficient authorization controls on individual mod resources. When an authenticated user requests a mod page via its slug (a human-readable URL identifier), the backend returns sensitive author metadata without verifying whether the requesting user has permission to view that data. This is a common IDOR pattern where object identifiers are predictable (standard slug formats) and access controls are either absent or bypassable through direct enumeration.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionGitHub Advisory
The Hytale Modding Wiki is a free service for Hytale mods to host their documentation & wikis. An Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) vulnerability in versions of the wiki prior to 1.0.0 exposes mod authors' personal information - including full names and email addresses - to any authenticated user who visits a mod page. Any user who creates an account can access sensitive author details by simply navigating to a mod's page via its slug. Version 1.0.0 fixes the issue.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using versions of the wiki should be aware of moderate risk from CVE-2026-32736, a missing authorization vulnerability rated CVSS 4.3. Attackers could gain access beyond their authorized level. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.
Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: restrict network access and enable monitoring.
