Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-294.
Summary
YesWiki from 4.6.2 before 4.7.0 lacks replay protection in HttpSignatureService::verifySignature(), which never validates the Date header or tracks seen signatures. An attacker who captures a signed request to the /api/forms/{formId}/actor/inbox endpoint can replay it later to re-execute Delete, Update, Follow, or Undo actions. The CVSS 4.0 vector rates the impact to integrity as high and the attack as requiring specific conditions. CWE-294 applies.
