DescriptionCVE.org

Docmost is open-source collaborative wiki and documentation software. An authorization bypass vulnerability in versions 0.70.0 through 0.70.2 exposes restricted child page titles and text snippets through the public search endpoint (POST /api/search/share-search) for publicly shared content. This flaw allows unauthenticated users to enumerate and retrieve content that should remain hidden from public share viewers, leading to a confidentiality breach. Version 0.70.3 contains a patch.

AnalysisAI

Docmost versions 0.70.0 through 0.70.2 allow unauthenticated users to bypass authorization controls and enumerate restricted child page titles and text snippets via the public search endpoint, exposing confidential documentation content that should only be visible to authorized share viewers. This medium-severity confidentiality breach affects any Docmost instance with publicly shared workspaces and requires user interaction (clicking a link or accessing the search interface), but poses significant risk to organizations treating Docmost as a confidential knowledge base.

Technical ContextAI

Docmost's public share search feature (POST /api/search/share-search) implements insufficient authorization checks when filtering search results for unauthenticated users with access to a share token. The vulnerability stems from a failure to properly enforce content access control boundaries (CWE-285: Improper Authorization) between restricted hierarchical page structures. An unauthenticated attacker with knowledge of a public share URL can directly query the search API endpoint, which returns metadata and snippets for nested pages and restricted content that the public share viewer should not access. The flaw affects Docmost's wiki document hierarchy model, where child pages inherit or are tied to parent page sharing rules, but the search function bypasses these scoping restrictions.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: Docmost 0.70.3 and later. Immediately upgrade all Docmost instances from versions 0.70.0-0.70.2 to 0.70.3 or the latest stable release. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict public share functionality or disable the search endpoint for publicly shared documents until an upgrade can be scheduled. Review audit logs for any evidence of unauthorized search queries against public share endpoints, and audit the contents of publicly shared workspaces to identify if sensitive information was enumerated.
