GHSA-2f8p-qqx2-gwr2
HIGHYesWiki Vulnerable to Unauthenticated Reflected Cross-site Scripting
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
Blast Radius
yeswiki/yeswikiReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Packagist packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Summary
Reflected XSS has been detected in the file upload form. Vulnerability can be exploited without authentication
This Proof of Concept has been performed using the followings:
- YesWiki v4.5.3 (doryphore-dev branch)
- Docker environnment (docker/docker-compose.yml)
Vulnerable code
The vulnerability is located in the file
public function showUploadForm()
{
$this->file = $_GET['file'];
echo '<h3>' . _t('ATTACH_UPLOAD_FORM_FOR_FILE') . ' ' . $this->file . "</h3>\n";
echo '<form enctype="multipart/form-data" name="frmUpload" method="POST" action="' . $this->wiki->href('upload', $this->wiki->GetPageTag()) . "\">\n"
. ' <input type="hidden" name="wiki" value="' . $this->wiki->GetPageTag() . "/upload\" />\n"
. ' <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="' . $this->attachConfig['max_file_size'] . "\" />\n"
. " <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"file\" value=\"$this->file\" />\n"
. " <input type=\"file\" name=\"upFile\" size=\"50\" /><br />\n"
. ' <input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="' . _t('ATTACH_SAVE') . "\" />\n"
. "</form>\n";
}

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for yeswiki/yeswiki. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Remediation status
No patched version of yeswiki/yeswiki has shipped for GHSA-2f8p-qqx2-gwr2 yet. Where your build allows, override or pin the dependency away from the vulnerable range, and apply any maintainer-recommended mitigation.
Mitigate without a patch
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-2f8p-qqx2-gwr2 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-2f8p-qqx2-gwr2. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-2f8p-qqx2-gwr2 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-2f8p-qqx2-gwr2 across Packagist dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
