MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Initial Access The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires that a user with administrator privileges be actively logged into the target YesWiki instance (<4.6.7) and be lured into visiting an attacker-controlled link that triggers the autoupdate UpdateAction with action=delete and a package parameter; the vulnerable endpoint accepts state-changing deletions via unprotected GET requests with no anti-CSRF token. Limiting factors: success depends on administrator user interaction (clicking/loading the crafted link), a valid authenticated admin session being present in the victim's browser, and the attacker knowing or guessing the package name to delete - there is no direct, interaction-free path for an unauthenticated attacker. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-priority, context-dependent issue rather than a critical one. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:P) shows a network-reachable flaw requiring no attacker privileges but passive user interaction (UI:P) - classic CSRF, consistent with CWE-352. The attacker is unauthenticated, but exploitation hinges entirely on tricking an already-authenticated administrator into visiting a crafted link, which meaningfully lowers real-world likelihood versus a direct unauthenticated RCE. Impact is skewed toward availability (VA:H - deleting extensions like bazar breaks core site functionality) with only limited integrity impact (VI:L) and no confidentiality impact (VC:N); there is no data theft or code execution. EPSS is not provided, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified. KEV status is not listed (no confirmed active exploitation) and no POC is referenced, so this rests on vendor/VulnCheck analysis rather than observed attacks. Net: a legitimate availability/integrity bug worth patching, but not a drop-everything emergency - the UI:P requirement and lack of exploitation evidence put it below genuinely wormable network flaws. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious web page or email link pointing at the victim YesWiki instance's autoupdate UpdateAction with action=delete and a package parameter (e.g. bazar). When a logged-in administrator is lured into visiting it, their authenticated session silently issues the unprotected GET request, deleting the extension and breaking site functionality. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the network attack vector with low complexity makes the forged request trivial to construct once a target admin is socially engineered. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 02, 2026
Cross-site request forgery in YesWiki before 4.6.7 lets an attacker delete installed packages from a wiki instance by luring a logged-in administrator to a crafted link. The autoupdate UpdateAction processes state-changing deletions through unprotected GET requests - accepting action=delete together with a package parameter - with no anti-CSRF token check, so a request issued from an attacker-controlled page is executed with the administrator's session privileges. Deleting packages such as bazar strips functionality the site depends on, breaking core operation (CVSS 4.0 base 7.1; high availability impact, low integrity impact, no confidentiality impact). Exploitation is context-dependent: it requires a live administrator session in the victim's browser plus a lure/click, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
Upgrade YesWiki to 4.6.7 or later - this is the vendor-released patch (available from vendor; reported via VulnCheck) and the only fully supported fix. Verify the upgrade against the advisory at https://github.com/YesWiki/yeswiki/security/advisories/GHSA-jp5c-grgj-624x, and confirm that the autoupdate module's UpdateAction no longer accepts state-changing delete operations over GET without a CSRF token. If immediate upgrade is not possible, apply compensating controls with their trade-offs: disable or uninstall the autoupdate extension where package management is not needed (removes the vulnerable action but also eliminates in-app package updates and installs); set the YesWiki session cookie to SameSite=Strict (or Lax as a weaker fallback) so cross-site navigations do not carry the admin session - this may break legitimate cross-site embedding or SSO flows, so validate before rollout; and, at the reverse-proxy or WAF layer, block or require confirmation for GET requests carrying action=delete on the autoupdate endpoint (risk of blocking legitimate administrator workflows). Also reduce exposure by ensuring administrators do not browse untrusted sites while logged into the wiki, and restrict administrative sessions using IP allowlisting or short idle timeouts. No public exploit code has been identified, so these measures are preventive rather than incident-driven, but administrators should review installed packages for unexpected deletions as an integrity check.

Technical ContextAI · show details
YesWiki is a PHP-based wiki/cooperative-platform application whose autoupdate module manages installed extensions and packages. The vulnerable UpdateAction performs package lifecycle operations (including deletion) on the basis of request parameters rather than a CSRF-token-protected, non-idempotent POST, which places it squarely in CWE-352 (Cross-Site Request Forgery). Because the deletion decision is driven by the action and package GET parameters, any third-party page that causes the victim's browser to request a URL of the form ...&action=delete&package=bazar will trigger the removal under the victim's authenticated admin context; the endpoint does not validate a per-session anti-CSRF token, so the browser's ambient session cookie is the only credential needed. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:yeswiki:yeswiki:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and the EUVD version range (0 to <4.6.7) indicate all releases prior to 4.6.7 are affected. Under the 4.0 metric set the vector shows PR:N/UI:P with VI:L and VA:H - i.e., the attacker needs no prior privileges of their own but must rely on victim interaction, and the realized consequences are loss of package-driven functionality and availability rather than data disclosure. Note the practical nuance: although the vector records PR:N, the action only takes effect when a valid administrator session is already present in the victim's browser, and the attacker must know or guess the package name to delete.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
YesWiki before 4.6.7 contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability in the autoupdate UpdateAction that allows attackers to delete installed packages via unprotected GET requests. Attackers can lure a logged-in administrator to a crafted link with action=delete and a package parameter to remove extensions like bazar, breaking core site functionality.

Executive ViewAI
YesWiki deployments below version 4.6.7 are exposed to a high-severity issue that could let an external party remove key site packages through an administrator's active session, potentially taking critical wiki functions offline. The affected audience is any organization relying on these instances for business workflows, and leadership should care because disruption can halt access to hosted knowledge or services. No public exploit identified at time of analysis.
