SCA: security update for yeswiki/yeswiki (GHSA-wphc-5f2j-jhvg)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 420040

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- YesWiki is a wiki system written in PHP. Versions up to and including 4.4.5 are vulnerable to any end-user
crafting a DOM based XSS on all of YesWiki's pages which is triggered when a user clicks on a malicious
link. The vulnerability makes use of the search by tag feature. When a tag doesn't exist, the tag is
reflected on the page and isn't properly sanitized on the server side which allows a malicious user to
generate a link that will trigger an XSS on the client's side when clicked. This vulnerability allows any
user to generate a malicious link that will trigger an account takeover when clicked, therefore allowing a
user to steal other accounts, modify pages, comments, permissions, extract user data (emails), thus
impacting the integrity, availability and confidentiality of a YesWiki instance. Version 4.5.0 contains a
patch for the issue. (CVE-2025-24017)
