CVE-2026-104472: YesWiki missing authorization in attachment download handler

CVE-2026-104472 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.5 · Published 2026-10-02

YesWiki is a collaborative wiki platform that uses access control lists (ACLs) to restrict who can read confidential pages. An unauthenticated attacker can bypass these restrictions and download confidential attachments from read-protected pages by directly requesting the download handler with a page name and filename. This allows unauthorized access to sensitive documents, images, and files that should only be visible to authorized users.

Technical details

The attachment download handler in tools/attach/handlers/page/download.php fails to verify page read ACLs before streaming files. While normal page rendering checks authorization via HasAccess('read'), the download handler delegates directly to the attachment library's doDownload() method, which reads the requested file from $_GET and streams it without authorization checks. An attacker who knows or guesses a private page tag and attachment filename can retrieve the file over the network without authentication or user interaction.
