CVE-2026-103475: yii2-starter-kit insecure allowedIPs configuration in debug and Gii modules

CVE-2026-103475 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.1 · Published 2026-09-30

yii2-starter-kit is a template for building web applications using the Yii framework. The starter kit's default development configuration exposes debugging and code generation tools to any network user by permitting access from all IP addresses. An unauthenticated attacker on the network can read sensitive data such as database queries and session credentials, or generate and write arbitrary PHP code to the application directory, leading to complete compromise.

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from setting allowedIPs to ['*'] for the Yii debug and Gii modules in the default web.php configuration when YII_DEBUG or YII_ENV_DEV are enabled. The debug module exposes sensitive runtime information including session cookies and database query logs; the Gii module allows code generation and file writes without authentication. An unauthenticated network attacker can directly access these endpoints to extract secrets or achieve remote code execution.
