Description
YesWiki before 4.6.7 contains an empty-filter scope bypass in the triples delete API that allows any authenticated user to delete or forge arbitrary semantic triples regardless of ownership. Attackers can send an empty filter to the triples delete endpoint to remove the admins-group membership triple, emptying the admin group and causing a site-wide authorization lockout.

AI Analysis

Impact

YesWiki versions prior to 4.6.7 contain an empty‑filter scope bypass in the triples delete API. An authenticated user can craft a delete request with an empty filter and remove any semantic triple, including those that grant admin privileges or link users to the admin group. This allows an attacker to delete the admin group membership triple, thereby disabling all administrator accounts and causing a site‑wide authorization lockout. The flaw also permits forging new triples with elevated permissions, enabling persistent tampering with content and access controls.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects all releases of YesWiki before 4.6.7, including every build that does not include the patch found in version 4.6.7 and later. Any installation of the YesWiki application before that version is subject to this issue.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score is 7.2, indicating a high severity. The EPSS score is not available, so the current likelihood of exploitation cannot be quantified. The flaw is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Because the CVE description states that any authenticated user can exploit the issue, it is inferred that the attack vector is an authenticated network session. Once authenticated, the attacker can immediately send the crafted delete request and alter or delete critical access triples, leading to privilege escalation or complete denial of service for administrative functions.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade to YesWiki 4.6.7 or later to remove the empty‑filter bypass.
  • If an update is delayed, disable the triples delete API or restrict access to it so that only trusted administrators can invoke it.
  • Monitor API usage and audit delete operations for unexpected alterations to admin‑related triples to detect potential exploitation in the interim.
