CriticalCVSS 9.1
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

YesWiki prior to version 4.6.6 has a vulnerability in the {{erasespamedcomments}} wiki action that deletes arbitrary wiki pages without authorization based on a suppr[] array from POST. The default ACL model allows any user with write access to delete pages, including the front page and admin pages.

Risk Assessment

Unauthenticated or low-privileged users (by default everyone) can permanently delete arbitrary wiki pages, leading to data loss and service disruption.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 4.6.6 and review ACL configuration to restrict write permissions.

Original NVD description (English source)

YesWiki is a wiki system written in PHP. Prior to version 4.6.6, the {{erasespamedcomments}} wiki action (actions/EraseSpamedCommentsAction.php) accepts a suppr[] array from POST and deletes every wiki page whose tag appears in that array, with no authorization check anywhere in the action body or in the page-deletion path it invokes. Combined with YesWiki's allow-by-default action ACL model, any user who has page write access, which is the default for everyone (default_write_acl='*') on a fresh install can permanently delete arbitrary wiki pages, including the front page, admin pages, and pages owned by other users. This issue has been patched in version 4.6.6.
