MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated Wiki.js account with access to the GraphQL API (PR:L) and a deployment that relies on tag-based page access rules to restrict content - the bypass only matters where tag-scoped restrictions are actually configured. Exploitation is remote and needs no user interaction, but is limited to reading page METADATA (titles, descriptions, paths, tags) via the list, tree, tags, searchTags, and links resolvers; it does not expose page contents, does not modify data, and does not affect availability. Affected versions are Wiki.js through 2.5.314. |
| Impact | This is a genuine but low-severity information-disclosure issue, not a high-priority emergency. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw requiring only low-privilege authentication, with impact limited to low confidentiality and NO integrity or availability effect - consistent with the description, which is confined to leaking restricted page METADATA (titles, descriptions, paths, tag info) rather than page bodies or credentials. Publicly available exploit code exists (geo-chen/oss writeup), which raises practical exploitability, but there is no EPSS score provided and the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, so there is no evidence of active exploitation - POC availability and active exploitation are distinct signals and should not be conflated. The CWE (CWE-863, incorrect authorization) aligns with the described tag-omission authorization gap. Net: real and easy to exploit for an authenticated user, but the bounded confidentiality-only impact makes this a moderate-to-low operational priority rather than a critical one. Note the Tags field labels this 'Authentication Bypass' whereas the mechanism and CWE-863 describe an AUTHORIZATION bypass - the flaw does not defeat login, only tag-based access rules. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privileged authenticated Wiki.js user (or any account able to reach the GraphQL API) issues list, tree, tags, searchTags, or links queries and receives metadata for pages that tag-based access rules were supposed to hide, enumerating restricted titles, descriptions, and paths. Public exploit/write-up code exists, lowering the skill required to reproduce it. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 16, 2026
Tag-based page access restrictions in Wiki.js through 2.5.314 are bypassed because several GraphQL resolvers return page metadata without evaluating page tags, allowing an authenticated user to enumerate titles, descriptions, paths, and tags of pages they should not see. Publicly available exploit code exists, and the supplied intelligence maps the issue to CWE-863, but the authoritative assessment rates it as a low-severity information-disclosure bug: it requires an account with GraphQL API access, affects deployments that actually use tag-based page rules, and exposes metadata only, not page content, with no integrity or availability impact.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch is identified in the supplied data at time of analysis; monitor the Requarks Wiki.js project and the VulnCheck/NVD advisories for a fixed release after 2.5.314 and upgrade as soon as one is available. Until then, restrict access to the GraphQL API: if the API is not required, disable or block the GraphQL endpoint at the reverse proxy or WAF, accepting that this may break API clients or dynamic frontend features. For deployments that rely on tag-based restrictions, do not depend on tags alone for sensitive pages; move restricted content into separate wikis, namespaces, or page-level permissions, and consider removing sensitive metadata from pages exposed through these resolvers, which requires content reorganization but directly closes the bypass path. Because exploitation requires a valid authenticated account with GraphQL access, minimize and audit Wiki.js accounts, enforce least privilege, and monitor logs for queries touching the list, tree, tags, searchTags, and links resolvers.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Wiki.js is an open-source Node.js wiki platform whose GraphQL API exposes page data through resolvers such as list, tree, tags, searchTags, and links. CWE-863 (Incorrect Authorization) is the root cause: the authorization logic for those resolvers does not incorporate page tags, so tag-based page rules intended to restrict content are not enforced on metadata responses. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:requarks:wiki.js:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies Requarks Wiki.js as the affected product, and EUVD records Wiki.js 0 through 2.5.314 as vulnerable. The CVSS vectors (supplied CVSS:4.0 with PR:L and independent CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N) confirm the attack is remote and requires authentication; the independent analysis limits impact to confidentiality of page metadata, not page bodies or write operations.

DescriptionCVE.org
Wiki.js through 2.5.314 omits page tags from authorization checks in multiple GraphQL resolvers, allowing tag-based access restrictions to be bypassed. Attackers can query the list, tree, tags, searchTags, and links resolvers to retrieve restricted page metadata including titles, descriptions, paths, and tag information without proper authorization.
