Description

Summary

YesWiki through the latest development branch contains a SQL injection vulnerability in ReactionManager::deleteUserReaction() that allows any authenticated user to inject arbitrary SQL via the {idreaction} and {id} URL path parameters. The parameters are concatenated directly into a SQL LIKE clause without escaping or parameterization.

This is a sibling of CVE-2026-46670 (unauthenticated SQLi in FormManager::create()). Both share the same root cause — raw string concatenation into SQL queries — but exist in different components.

Root Cause

includes/controllers/ApiController.php line 726:

/**
 * @Route("/api/reactions/{idreaction}/{id}/{page}/{username}", methods={"DELETE"}, options={"acl":{"+"}})
 */

ACL "+" = any authenticated user. Parameters flow into ReactionManager::deleteUserReaction()TripleStore::delete() with raw string concatenation into SQL LIKE clause (line 356).

The if branch (lines 340-354) properly uses $this->dbService->escape(). The else branch does not — the developer applied escaping to one code path but not the other.

PoC

DELETE /wiki/?api/reactions/x%27%20OR%201=1%20OR%20value%20LIKE%20%27/test/SomePage/attacker
Host: localhost:8085
Cookie: <session cookie>

Time-based blind variant via {id} parameter for data exfiltration.

Impact

Full database read/write. Any self-registered user can extract yeswiki_users password hashes and emails.

Suggested Fix

Apply $this->dbService->escape() to all parameters in the else branch, matching the if branch pattern. Also audit all TripleStore::delete() callers that pass $extraSQL.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

Weaknesses

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')

The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.
