AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Public unauthenticated API with low-complexity injection gives AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N; a read-only boolean oracle yields C:H with no data modification or outage, so I:N/A:N.

Summary
YesWiki’s public Bazar entry-listing APIs are vulnerable to unauthenticated SQL injection in numeric query / queries filters.
For Bazar fields whose value structure is numeric, YesWiki escapes the attacker-controlled filter value but inserts it into SQL without quotes or numeric validation. An unauthenticated attacker can inject boolean SQL expressions and infer database contents from whether entries are returned.
Details
The public Bazar API reads attacker-controlled query filters from GET parameters:
// tools/bazar/controllers/ApiController.php
$vQuery = $_GET['query'] ?? $_GET['queries'] ?? null;
$vQuery = $vSearchManager->aggregateQueries(
!empty($selectedEntries) ? ['queries' => ['id_fiche' => $selectedEntries]] : [],
isset($vQuery) ? urldecode($vQuery) : ''
);Relevant public routes include:
@Route("/api/forms/{formId}/entries/{output}/{selectedEntries}", methods={"GET"}, options={"acl":{"public"}})
@Route("/api/entries/{output}/{selectedEntries}", methods={"GET"}, options={"acl":{"public"}})
@Route("/api/entries/bazarlist", methods={"GET"}, options={"acl":{"public"}})The query is passed into BazarListService::getEntries() and then into SearchManager::search():
// tools/bazar/services/BazarListService.php
$vLocalEntries = $vSearchManager->search(
array_merge(
$pOptions,
[
'formsIds' => $vLocalIDs,
]
),
true,
true
);The vulnerable sink is in SearchManager::buildQueriesConditions():
// tools/bazar/services/SearchManager.php
if ($vDescriptor['_type_'] == 'number') {
if (isset($vValue) && trim($vValue) !== '') {
$vValueConditions[] = 'CAST(' . mysqli_real_escape_string($this->wiki->dblink, $this->renameJSONPathVariable($vFieldName)) . ' AS DOUBLE) ' . $vComparisonOperator . ' ' . mysqli_real_escape_string($this->wiki->dblink, $vValue);
}
}Because numeric values are not quoted, SQL syntax remains active after escaping. For example, the following value is accepted as part of the numeric expression:
100 OR (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM yeswiki_users)>0This produces a predicate equivalent to:
CAST(bf_age AS DOUBLE) > 100 OR (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM yeswiki_users)>0Read ACL filtering and Bazar Guard processing do not prevent exploitation because the injected SQL expression is evaluated by the database before returned rows are post-processed.
Numeric Bazar filters are a documented/common feature. The documentation includes examples such as:
query="bf_age>18"
query="bf_age >= 20 | bf_age < 40"Bazar numeric fields are also common through field types such as number, range, and map latitude/longitude fields.
PoC
The following local-only PoC uses the shipped SearchManager code with a minimal MariaDB fixture. It demonstrates that a true injected boolean subquery changes the returned entries, while a false subquery does not.

Impact
This is an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability.
An attacker can use public Bazar API endpoints as a boolean oracle to infer data accessible to the YesWiki database user. This may include user account data, password hashes, password recovery material, private wiki metadata, or other sensitive database contents.
AnalysisAI
Boolean-based blind SQL injection in YesWiki's public Bazar entry-listing API allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary database contents by abusing numeric query/queries filters. Because numeric field values are escaped with mysqli_real_escape_string but inserted into the SQL statement without quotes or numeric validation, injected boolean expressions (e.g. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target YesWiki instance expose the public Bazar API routes (the 'acl:public' endpoints /api/forms/{formId}/entries/{output}/{selectedEntries}, /api/entries/{output}/{selectedEntries}, or /api/entries/bazarlist) and that at least one Bazar form defines a numeric-structured field - a 'number', 'range', or map latitude/longitude field - since the injectable sink only triggers for descriptors whose _type_ is 'number'. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine, actionable risk rather than an inflated high-CVSS finding: the supplied CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N describes network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation, which is consistent with the description's public 'acl:public' routes and the working PoC. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An unauthenticated attacker sends GET requests to a public Bazar endpoint such as /api/entries/bazarlist with a numeric filter like query=bf_age>100 OR (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM yeswiki_users)>0, observing whether entries are returned to answer a true/false question about the database. By iterating character-by-character conditions against sensitive columns, they extract user account data and password hashes without any credentials or user interaction, consistent with the low-complexity network attack vector. … |
| Remediation | Apply the vendor fix: upgrade YesWiki to a release that includes commit f3b0dd093a7ace47dc29a515faeb02635baceae2 (Upstream fix available via commit; a specific tagged patched release version is not stated in the provided data, so confirm the exact fixed release against advisory GHSA-qg78-vmvc-fhjw before deploying). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
