Summary
YesWiki before 4.7.0 contains a server-side request forgery flaw in DuplicationManager::downloadFile(), tracked as CWE-918. An authenticated administrator can make the server send arbitrary outbound requests through the files array of the page duplication API. The server stores the responses in the publicly accessible files/ directory, so a request for file:// or internal URLs can expose local files, cloud metadata or database credentials.
