CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedYesWiki versions 4.1.0 to 4.6.5 are vulnerable to a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) attack due to improper handling of the archived revision timestamp in the page display functionality. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the victim's browser, potentially compromising user data and session integrity, particularly for users with read and write access to the affected pages. Organizations using YesWiki should prioritize upgrading to version 4.6.6 or later, especially if their deployment allows anonymous editing of public pages.

Original NVD 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.
