MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Persistence The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires a YesWiki instance (before 4.6.7) that exposes a Bazar list which anonymous users can edit, so the attacker can insert a crafted option id that is later concatenated unescaped into SQL REGEXP/LIKE clauses in actions/newtextsearch.php. No authentication is required (PR:N) and no user interaction is needed. Limiting factors: the deployment must actually permit anonymous Bazar list editing (non-guaranteed configuration), and because the flaw is a blind boolean oracle, data extraction requires many requests and is slow and noisy rather than a single-shot dump. |
| Impact | Signals are moderately strong but not uniformly high. The authoritative CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, VC:H) scores 8.7 and describes a fully network-reachable, unauthenticated path that discloses high-value data (admin password hashes from yeswiki_users), which is a genuine priority for any exposed instance. However, confidentiality is the only impact (VI:N/VA:N) - this is a read-only blind oracle, not code execution or data tampering. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no confirmed public POC were provided, so there is no evidence of active or at-scale exploitation at this time; the finding originates from VulnCheck research rather than incident reporting. A material caveat the raw CVSS hides: exploitation depends on the presence of an anonymously editable Bazar list containing an attacker-controlled option id, a deployment-specific precondition not reflected in the AC:L/AT:N metrics. Net: a real, patch-now issue for internet-facing YesWiki sites that expose anonymously editable Bazar lists, but the absence of exploitation telemetry and the niche product footprint place it below mass-exploited enterprise bugs. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An anonymous attacker locates a YesWiki (pre-4.6.7) site with a publicly/anonymously editable Bazar list, edits a list option id to embed SQL REGEXP/LIKE syntax, then issues repeated {{newtextsearch}} queries whose true/false responses act as a boolean oracle. Over many requests they exfiltrate arbitrary database contents character by character, including admin password hashes. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data, but the technique is straightforward and well-documented by the VulnCheck advisory. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 02, 2026
Blind SQL injection in YesWiki before 4.6.7 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary database contents, including administrator password hashes from the yeswiki_users table, by planting a crafted option id in an anonymously editable Bazar list and then using {{newtextsearch}} requests as a boolean oracle. Successful exploitation depends on the deployment actually permitting anonymous editing of a Bazar list, and because the technique is blind, extraction is slow and noisy rather than a single-shot dump. Vendor severity is 8.7 (CVSS 4.0, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N); our independent assessment, based on CVSS 3.1 AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N, confirms a high-confidentiality, no-integrity, no-availability impact with no authentication or user interaction required, and no public exploit code identified at time of analysis, with no evidence of confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV).
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: YesWiki 4.6.7 (all versions below 4.6.7 are vulnerable, per the vendor advisory GHSA-4333-x9p4-8xj7 and the VulnCheck advisory), so upgrading to 4.6.7 or later is the primary and definitive fix and should be applied as soon as possible; verify the running version after upgrade since the CPE string covers the whole product line. If immediate upgrade is not possible, the most effective compensating control is to remove the injection precondition by disabling anonymous editing of Bazar lists and restricting list-write permissions to trusted, authenticated users, with the trade-off that any collaborative wiki workflow relying on public contribution will break. As a secondary measure, restrict or disable access to the {{newtextsearch}} action and its search interface for untrusted visitors, accepting the loss of public search functionality, and add WAF or reverse-proxy rules that reject SQL syntax (quotes, comment markers, REGEXP/LIKE metacharacters) in Bazar option ids and search parameters, accepting the risk of false positives on legitimate search strings. Note that disabling vulnerability surfaces and filtering are temporary mitigations only and do not correct the underlying unescaped query construction; rotating credentials for accounts whose password hashes may have been extracted is also advisable given the confirmed confidentiality-only impact on yeswiki_users.

Technical ContextAI · show details
YesWiki is a PHP wiki/CMS whose Bazar extension provides user-editable lists with configurable option ids. In actions/newtextsearch.php, the ids of Bazar list options are concatenated directly into SQL REGEXP/LIKE clauses without parameterization or escaping, the classic CWE-89 improper neutralization of special elements used in an SQL command. Because the injected value is a stored list option id, the attacker first plants the payload through a Bazar list that anonymous visitors are allowed to edit, then triggers repeated {{newtextsearch}} searches; differences in result sets act as a boolean oracle, letting the attacker infer database contents character by character. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:yeswiki:yeswiki:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* and the EUVD range (yeswiki 0 through <4.6.7) indicate the flaw spans the entire product line up to the fixed release, and the weakness is one of query-string construction rather than of authentication or encryption, so it does not require any credential, session, or special privilege to reach the vulnerable query.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
YesWiki before 4.6.7 contains a blind SQL injection vulnerability in the {{newtextsearch}} action because Bazar list option ids are concatenated into SQL REGEXP/LIKE clauses in actions/newtextsearch.php without escaping. Anonymous attackers can plant a malicious option id in an anonymously editable Bazar list and use search requests as a boolean oracle to read arbitrary database data, including admin password hashes from the yeswiki_users table.
Technical POC Analysis
Evidence base: GHSA-4333-x9p4-8xj7 (CWE-89), which ships a complete anonymous PoC.
Full technical POC analysis - root cause, step-by-step exploitation and patch breakdown - is part of the Pro and Business plans.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations running YesWiki versions prior to 4.6.7 face a high-severity exposure that could allow an unauthenticated attacker to disclose administrative credentials, potentially leading to broader compromise of the collaboration platform and connected data. Leadership should prioritize remediation because the issue affects confidentiality of privileged accounts, though exploitation is conditional on specific site configuration and no public exploit identified at time of analysis.
Apply vendor patch.
