CVE-2026-52773 Details
Description
YesWiki is a wiki system written in PHP. From version 4.1.0 to before version 4.6.6, YesWiki's archived-revision view reflects the time GET parameter into a hidden HTML input in handlers/page/show.php without escaping. Because MySQL coerces malformed DATETIME strings, an attacker can append HTML or JavaScript to a valid archived revision timestamp, still load that archived revision, and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser. The vulnerable form is only rendered when the victim can both read and edit the target page. In restricted deployments this requires a victim with read and write access to that page. On a default doryphore 4.6.5 install, public pages such as PagePrincipale were editable anonymously during validation, so the issue can also affect unauthenticated visitors in that configuration. This issue has been patched in version 4.6.6.
A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in YesWiki versions 4.1.0 prior to 4.6.6. The issue arises in the archived-revision view, where the 'time' GET parameter is reflected into a hidden HTML input in 'handlers/page/show.php' without proper escaping. This flaw allows an attacker to inject HTML or JavaScript into a valid archived revision timestamp. When the archived revision is loaded, the injected script is executed in the context of the victim's browser. The vulnerability is only present when the victim has both read and write access to the page. On a default YesWiki 4.6.5 installation, public pages could be edited anonymously, potentially exposing the issue to unauthenticated users.
Users are advised to upgrade to YesWiki version 4.6.6, where this vulnerability has been patched.
