MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Collection, Discovery 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 the target YesWiki instance (version before 4.6.7) actually hosts a page containing the recentchangesrssplus RSS action; the attacker then requests that page's xml method. No authentication, user interaction, or special privileges are needed (PR:N/UI:N), and default remote network access suffices once such an action page exists. The primary limiting factor is deployment-specific: sites that do not use the recentchangesrssplus action, or that have already upgraded to 4.6.7+, are not exposed. Impact is further limited to disclosure of 500-character excerpts rather than full restricted content. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity information disclosure flaw (CWE-200) with real but bounded impact. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms it is remotely exploitable by unauthenticated attackers with low complexity and no user interaction, which raises the practical attack surface. However, impact is limited to confidentiality only (VC:L, with VI:N/VA:N), and the leak is partial - 500-character body excerpts rather than full page contents - so the 6.9 score reflects easy exploitation of a limited-disclosure bug rather than a system-compromising issue. No EPSS score, SSVC decision, or POC indicator was provided in the input, and KEV status is not present, so there is no evidence of active exploitation; exploitation status is therefore 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' The vulnerability was reported by VulnCheck and a vendor advisory (GHSA) plus a patch exist, which lends high confidence to the technical details. Net: a legitimate patch-worthy issue for YesWiki operators who host restricted/draft content, but not a widespread emergency given the niche product footprint and confidentiality-only impact. EPSS is absent, so probabilistic exploitation likelihood cannot be stated. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker identifies a YesWiki instance (before 4.6.7) that hosts the recentchangesrssplus RSS action and requests the xml method of that page. The response returns 500-character body excerpts of the latest pages, including read-restricted drafts and notes, leaking content the attacker should not be able to see. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data, but the request requires only a crafted HTTP GET with no authentication. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 02, 2026
An access control bypass in YesWiki before 4.6.7 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read 500-character excerpts of restricted page content, including read-restricted drafts and notes, by requesting the XML method of a page that hosts the recentchangesrssplus RSS action. The attack is possible without authentication or user interaction when such an action page exists, but it is limited to excerpt disclosure and depends on the site actually using the recentchangesrssplus action. This is a moderate-severity CWE-200 information disclosure issue; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the independent assessment rates confidentiality impact as low with no integrity or availability impact.
RemediationAI
Upgrade YesWiki to 4.6.7 or later (vendor-released patch: 4.6.7), as documented in the GitHub advisory at https://github.com/YesWiki/yeswiki/security/advisories/GHSA-89vc-h4r4-h25q and VulnCheck advisory at https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/yeswiki-before-4.6.7-read-acl-bypass-via-recentchangesrssplus-rss-action. If immediate upgrading is not possible, remove or disable the recentchangesrssplus action from any pages, or restrict access to pages that host it, understanding that removing the action disables the recent-changes RSS feed and blocking the xml method may break legitimate feed consumers. Also review wiki ACLs so drafts and notes are not exposed through other feed actions, and prioritize patching for instances where the recentchangesrssplus action is deployed.

Technical ContextAI · show details
YesWiki is a wiki/CMS platform, and its recentchangesrssplus action generates an RSS/XML feed of recently changed pages. The vulnerability is an access control check failure in that feed-generation path: when an attacker requests the xml method of a page containing the action, the response includes 500-character body excerpts for every latest page, including pages marked as read-restricted drafts or notes. The underlying weakness is CWE-200 (Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor), and the provided CVSS 4.0 vector (PR:N/UI:N) and independent CVSS 3.1 vector (PR:N/UI:N) agree that no authentication or user interaction is required once a vulnerable action page is reachable. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:yeswiki:yeswiki:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and EUVD range yeswiki 0 <4.6.7 identify all pre-4.6.7 releases as affected. The impact is disclosure of excerpts rather than full restricted content, so the independent assessment appropriately limits confidentiality impact to Low.

Lifecycle Timeline
1DescriptionCVE.org
YesWiki before 4.6.7 contains an access control bypass vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read restricted page content via the recentchangesrssplus RSS action. Attackers can request the xml method of a page hosting the action to retrieve 500-character body excerpts of every latest page, including read-restricted drafts and notes.
