Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires: (1) a YesWiki instance (before 4.7.0) running the Bazar module with at least one form and one publicly readable entry (default read ACL is empty, which canRead() treats as public); (2) a target entry whose stored JSON lacks a specific text/title field key - this occurs when a field is added to a form after the entry was created, a normal wiki lifecycle state, not an unusual configuration; and (3) a victim who clicks the attacker's crafted link (UI:P/UI:R). The attacker names the query parameter after that missing field property (e.g., bf_custom) and supplies the payload. Limiting factors: success depends on the missing-field-key precondition and on user interaction, so it is not a zero-click default-config compromise; HttpOnly cookies prevent direct cookie theft (limiting impact to same-origin authenticated actions and content exfiltration); and no CSP is present to blunt inline script. There is no configuration-only workaround per the vendor - the code path must be patched.

Impact

Signals converge on a genuine but moderate-priority issue rather than an emergency. The CVSS 4.0 base is 5.3 (medium): network vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), no privileges (PR:N), but passive user interaction required (UI:P) and only low vulnerable- and subsequent-system impact (VC/VI/SC/SI:L). EPSS is low at 0.18% (7th percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and the vuln.today decision label is 'this_month' - all consistent with a vulnerability that is exploitable but not under mass automated exploitation. A public PoC reference exists in the YesWiki GHSA advisory (GHSA-hcvp-q8fx-84mc), which raises exploitability above a purely theoretical finding; it is detailed step-by-step reproduction, not verified packaged exploit code. The low EPSS alongside a published PoC suggests opportunistic/targeted use rather than widespread exploitation, matching the niche deployment footprint of YesWiki. One data conflict must be verified: the aggregate metadata reports 'Patch: Available from vendor' and 'fixed in 4.7.0', but the GHSA advisory body itself states 'Fix status: not fixed' with latest checked release v4.6.7 - confirm the 4.7.0 fix with the vendor before treating the patch as released. Overall this is a real reflected XSS worth remediating this cycle, not a drop-everything event.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker crafts a link to a public Bazar entry that is missing a form field key (a normal state when an admin adds a field to a form after entries already exist), appending a query parameter named after that field with a JavaScript payload. When an authenticated victim clicks the link, BazarField::getValue() falls back to the attacker-controlled $_REQUEST value and it is rendered through a Twig |raw template without escaping, executing script in the victim's session. A public PoC reference exists in the GHSA advisory demonstrating alert(document.domain); session cookies are HttpOnly, but the attacker can still perform same-origin authenticated actions and exfiltrate page content.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026

Reflected cross-site scripting in YesWiki before 4.7.0 lets unauthenticated remote attackers run JavaScript in a victim’s browser when the victim opens a crafted link targeting a Bazar entry that lacks a stored field key. The attacker supplies the missing field name as a query parameter, and BazarField::getValue() falls back to unsanitized $_REQUEST data rendered through Twig |raw templates; exploitation requires victim interaction and a form entry created before the field was added. Overall risk signals converge on a genuine but moderate-priority issue rather than an emergency: EPSS is 0.18% (7th percentile), no KEV listing is present, a public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code, and vendor patch 4.7.0 is available.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: upgrade YesWiki to 4.7.0; the GHSA advisory is https://github.com/YesWiki/yeswiki/security/advisories/GHSA-hcvp-q8fx-84mc. The vendor states there is no configuration-only workaround and the code path must be patched. For a backport, remove or restrict the $_REQUEST fallback in BazarField::getValue() at tools/bazar/fields/BazarField.php:193 so it is not used on the render path, or limit it to POST requests during entry creation and update; apply htmlspecialchars() or HtmlPurifierService::cleanHTML() to the fallback value before it reaches |raw, and audit all templates using {{ value|raw }}, including tools/bazar/templates/fields/text.twig and title.twig. These changes address the render-path sanitization gap; filtering global input alone is not a substitute because the fallback to $_REQUEST is the vulnerable behavior.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CVE-2026-116823 is a CWE-79 reflected XSS in YesWiki’s Bazar module. BazarField::getValue() at tools/bazar/fields/BazarField.php:193 resolves a field value with $entry[$propertyName] ?? $_REQUEST[$propertyName] ?? $this->default; when a Bazar entry’s stored JSON lacks the field key - for example after an administrator adds a field to an existing form - attacker-controlled GET data in $_REQUEST is returned. TextField::renderStatic() passes that value to Twig templates text.twig and title.twig, which use {{ value|raw }} and therefore bypass auto-escaping; save-time HtmlPurifierService::cleanHTML() sanitization in TextField.php is not applied on this render path. The assessed CVSS 3.1 vector is AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N (5.3): unauthenticated remote exploitation with user interaction, limited confidentiality and integrity impact, and scope change; HttpOnly cookies prevent direct cookie theft, but same-origin authenticated actions and content exfiltration remain possible, and no CSP restricts inline script.

DescriptionCVE.org

YesWiki before 4.7.0 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject JavaScript by supplying query parameters matching missing Bazar field names. Attackers can craft links where BazarField::getValue() falls back to unsanitized $_REQUEST values rendered via Twig |raw templates, performing same-origin authenticated actions in victims' sessions.
