AI-suggested
A fix is available in YesWiki version 4.7.0 and later. Users should upgrade to version 4.7.0 or newer to remediate this vulnerability. No other mitigation or temporary workaround is indicated in the available data.
Description
YesWiki versions prior to 4.7.0 have a vulnerability in the AclService::updateRequestWithACL function where usernames are interpolated into SQL LIKE patterns without escaping wildcard characters. This allows self-registered attackers to bypass read access controls by using specially crafted usernames containing wildcards, enabling unauthorized reading of restricted pages and Bazar entries via the public Bazar listing API.
