Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires that the target YesWiki instance (version < 4.6.7) expose the tags tool's listpagestag or includepages actions where an attacker can supply or embed them, and that read-ACL-restricted pages exist whose names/titles are worth disclosing. Per CVSS PR:N/UI:N/AC:L, no authentication, no user interaction, and no special non-default configuration are required - the actions fail to apply read-ACL filtering by design in affected versions, so default installations are affected. The principal LIMITING factors are impact scope rather than access: only page names and body-derived titles leak (not full page bodies), and the instance must actually host ACL-restricted pages for the disclosure to be meaningful.

Impact

This is a missing-authorization information-disclosure flaw (CWE-862) in YesWiki before 4.6.7. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) is self-consistent with the description: remote, unauthenticated, low-complexity exploitation with no user interaction, which legitimately warrants a high base score and the vendor's 8.7. However, the real-world impact is narrower than the 8.7 and the vendor's VC:H imply: the vulnerability leaks only page NAMES and body-derived TITLES of ACL-restricted pages, not their full contents, so confidentiality impact is partial rather than total (I assess C:L, see assessed vectors). There is NO integrity or availability impact (VI:N/VA:N). On exploitation signals, EPSS is not provided, the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, and no public POC is referenced - so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. Net: trivially exploitable and worth patching promptly because exploitation prerequisites are minimal, but the practical severity is metadata/recon-grade disclosure, not full data compromise - the 8.7 overstates business impact for most deployments.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker who can reach any editable or renderable YesWiki page embeds the listpagestag or includepages action referencing a chosen tag or page name. Because the actions enumerate pages without applying read-ACL filtering, the response reveals the names and body-derived titles of pages the attacker should not be able to see, letting them map hidden/restricted content. No public exploit code is referenced, but the attack requires only a crafted action embed and no authentication.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 02, 2026

Missing authorization in the YesWiki tags tool (listpagestag and includepages actions) lets unauthenticated remote attackers enumerate ACL-restricted pages and read their names along with body-derived titles on any instance running YesWiki before 4.6.7. Because the CVSS 4.0 vector carries PR:N/UI:N/AC:L, no credentials, no user interaction, and no non-default configuration are needed - the affected actions simply fail to apply read-ACL filtering, so default installations are exposed whenever ACL-restricted pages exist. The leak is limited to page names and derived titles rather than full page bodies, and no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified at time of analysis, though EPSS-style urgency is tempered by the low-value, low-bandwidth nature of the disclosure.

RemediationAI

Upgrade YesWiki to 4.6.7 or later; this is the vendor-released fix and the only complete remedy, since the underlying defect is the missing read-ACL enforcement in the tags tool itself. Consult the vendor advisory at https://github.com/YesWiki/yeswiki/security/advisories/GHSA-hx4v-hjvg-9p6w and the corroborating VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/yeswiki-before-4.6.7-information-disclosure-via-listpagestag-and-includepages-actions for the precise affected-version matrix and upgrade instructions. If immediate upgrading is not possible, compensating controls must target the exposure path rather than the flaw: restrict unauthenticated reachability of the tags tool (for example by requiring authentication at the reverse proxy or web server for the tag action endpoints), which reduces exposure but does not distinguish authorized from unauthorized page enumeration for users who do authenticate, and block attacker-supplied tag or page-name parameters at the WAF layer, which is fragile and bypassable via encoding or alternate action embedding. Administrators should also audit which pages currently carry read ACLs, since the practical impact of pre-patch exposure scales with how many restricted pages exist on the instance. Note that no public exploit code was identified at the time of analysis, but the flaw is remotely reachable without authentication, so treating the missing patch as low priority is not advisable.

Technical ContextAI · show details

YesWiki is a PHP/MySQL wiki engine that relies on per-page access-control lists to gate read access to sensitive content. The vulnerability class is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): the tags tool's listpagestag and includepages actions perform page enumeration and title derivation without ever consulting the engine's read-ACL layer, so the authorization check that should filter out restricted pages is absent by design in affected releases. An attacker who can invoke or embed these actions with an attacker-chosen tag or page name receives a list of matching pages and their body-derived titles regardless of the ACLs protecting them. The CPE string cpe:2.3:a:yeswiki:yeswiki:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* applies to the whole product line, and the EUVD record narrows the affected range to versions from 0 up to but not including 4.6.7. Scoring diverges across sources: the published CVSS 4.0 base is 8.7, while the independent assessment rates it CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N (about 7.5), reflecting that confidentiality impact is Low because only page identifiers and titles - not page contents - are disclosed, with no integrity or availability effect.

DescriptionCVE.org

YesWiki before 4.6.7 contains a missing authorization vulnerability in the listpagestag and includepages actions of the tags tool, which enumerate pages without applying read-ACL filtering. Unauthenticated or unprivileged attackers can embed these actions with a chosen tag or page name to disclose the names and body-derived titles of ACL-restricted pages.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

YesWiki instances running versions prior to 4.6.7 expose confidential page metadata to anyone on the network without authentication, allowing outsiders to map which internal or access-restricted pages exist and infer their subject matter from derived titles. Because no credentials, user interaction, or special configuration are required, every default deployment hosting ACL-restricted content is potentially affected, and the leaked information can reveal sensitive project, personnel, or client structures even though full page bodies remain protected. Leadership should care because this is a low-effort reconnaissance vector against internal knowledge bases, and a vendor fix is already available to close it.
