CVE-2022-23654Network attack vector

Restricted-page overwrite via mismatched ID-path authorization

Published Feb 22, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025

Improper access control in Wiki.js 2.5.275 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to overwrite pages outside permitted paths. The page-update handler in server/models/pages.js authorizes the submitted locale and path instead of the stored page selected by its ID. A user needs write access to at least one restricted path, then can pair that permitted path with another page ID to alter content beyond that scope.
