CVE-2026-52769

Description

YesWiki is a wiki system written in PHP. From version 4.6.2 to before version 4.6.6, the POST /api/forms/{formId}/actor/inbox route - exposed publicly with acl:"public" - accepts an HTTP Signature header whose keyId parameter is a URL. HttpSignatureService::verifySignature() parses the header and immediately makes a server-side HTTP GET to that URL, before any cryptographic verification or URL validation. An unauthenticated remote attacker can therefore make YesWiki issue arbitrary outbound HTTP requests to any host the server can reach - internal services, cloud-metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254), intranet-only admin panels, etc. - and read enough back via timing and error-message oracles to scan ports, enumerate services, and (on a real cloud instance) reach IAM metadata. The only deployment-side precondition is that ActivityPub be enabled on at least one Bazar form. This issue has been patched in version 4.6.6.

CVE-2026-52775
YesWiki is a wiki system written in PHP. Prior to version 4.6.6, YesWiki through the latest development branch contains a SQL injection vulnerability in ReactionManager::deleteUserReaction() that allows any authenticated user to inject arbitrary SQL via the {idreaction} and {id} URL path parameters. The parameters are concatenated directly into a SQL LIKE clause without escaping or parameterization. This issue has been patched in version 4.6.6.

CVE-2026-52771
YesWiki is a wiki system written in PHP. From version 4.2.0 to before version 4.6.6, ApiController::deletePage() interpolates a page tag retrieved from the database into a DELETE FROM …_links WHERE to_tag = '$tag' query without escaping. The page tag is attacker-controlled — the POST /api/pages/{tag} API accepts arbitrary URL-encoded values, including single quotes, and stores them. A low-privilege authenticated user can therefore create a page whose tag is a SQL fragment, make the page non-orphaned via the standard {{include page="…"}} link mechanism, and then invoke the delete endpoint to execute arbitrary SQL inside the wiki database - including time-based blind data exfiltration from any table. This issue has been patched in version 4.6.6.

CVE-2026-52770
YesWiki is a wiki system written in PHP. Prior to version 4.6.6, YesWiki’s public Bazar entry-listing APIs are vulnerable to unauthenticated SQL injection in numeric query / queries filters. For Bazar fields whose value structure is numeric, YesWiki escapes the attacker-controlled filter value but inserts it into SQL without quotes or numeric validation. An unauthenticated attacker can inject boolean SQL expressions and infer database contents from whether entries are returned. This issue has been patched in version 4.6.6.

CVE-2026-52767
YesWiki is a wiki system written in PHP. From version 4.6.2 to before version 4.6.6, HttpSignatureService::verifySignature() checks the result of PHP's openssl_verify() with a loose boolean negation - if (!openssl_verify(...)) { throw ... }. PHP's openssl_verify has four possible return values: 1, 0, -1, and "false". The -1 row is the bypass: PHP's truthiness rules make -1 a truthy value, so !(-1) === false, the throw is skipped, and the controller proceeds to processActivity(). Any condition that makes OpenSSL's EVP_VerifyFinal() return -1 triggers the bypass. The reachable consequence is the controller silently treats a failed verification as success and processes the attacker's payload. This issue has been patched in version 4.6.6.
