Where to report

The one public program DokuWiki runs.

Amounts are the top reward per severity in the currency each program pays. First response is the platform's measured average when it publishes one, else what the policy promises.

What is in scope

11 targets. 7 excluded.

  • https://www.dokuwiki.org

    Web

  • The ACL engine and the rules file it evaluates, which decides read, edit, create, upload and delete rights per namespace and per user or group

    Products and areas

  • The authentication plugin interface and the bundled backends, covering plain-file accounts, LDAP, Active Directory and the SQL backends

    Products and areas

  • The configuration manager and the installer, both of which write files that change how the wiki authenticates and authorises

    Products and areas

  • The media manager: upload handling, MIME and extension checking, storage layout and the routes that serve uploaded files back to a browser

    Products and areas

  • The page storage layer and the path handling that maps a page identifier to a file on disk, including the attic and meta directories

    Products and areas

  • The parser and renderer, covering the syntax layer, the instruction cache and the settings that allow raw HTML or PHP in page content

    Products and areas

  • The plugin and template manager, which downloads archives over the network and unpacks them into the installation

    Products and areas

  • The project publishes a list of what does not qualify rather than a positive scope statement, and asks for everything else by email to the maintainer. Anything in the DokuWiki tree that the non-qualifying list does not cover is inside that

    Products and areas

  • The search index and its incremental update path, where results can cross content the searcher cannot read

    Products and areas

  • The XML-RPC and JSON-RPC remote API, and the permission checks it applies compared with the web interface

    Products and areas

No target matches. Try part of a host name, such as the company name.

Out of scope 7

Don't test these. A program can exclude a host another program covers; the program you report to decides.

  • AI-assisted findings submitted without the manual verification AI_POLICY.md requires

  • Denial of service and performance issues, ruled out by name in the project's non-qualifying list

  • Installation and deployment misconfiguration, including a data directory left inside the web root by the operator

  • Server-side request forgery, which the project excludes on the stated grounds that intranet access is a deployment feature

  • The behaviour of external software the wiki interacts with rather than a defect in DokuWiki itself

  • Third-party plugins and templates from the plugin repository, which are separate projects with their own authors

  • Upstream PHP and library defects, unless DokuWiki's own use of them is what makes the issue reachable

  • An issue in Dokuwiki v.2025-05-14b "Librarian" [56.2] allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via the media_upload_xhr() function in the media.php file

  • DokuWiki 2018-04-22b contains a username enumeration vulnerability in its password reset functionality that allows attackers to identify valid user accounts. Attackers can submit different usernames to the password reset endpoint and distinguish between existing and non-existing accounts by analyzing the server's error response messages.

  • DokuWiki before 2023-04-04a allows XSS via RSS titles.

  • CVE-2022-3123 Medium

    Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Reflected in GitHub repository splitbrain/dokuwiki prior to 2022-07-31a.

  • HTMLCreator release_stable_2020-07-29 was discovered to contain a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability via the function _generateFilename.

  • CVE-2018-15474 Critical

    CSV Injection (aka Excel Macro Injection or Formula Injection) in /lib/plugins/usermanager/admin.php in DokuWiki 2018-04-22a and earlier allows remote attackers to exfiltrate sensitive data and to execute arbitrary code via a value that is mishandled in a CSV export. NOTE: the vendor has stated "this is not a security problem in DokuWiki.

  • The call parameter of /lib/exe/ajax.php in DokuWiki through 2017-02-19e does not properly encode user input, which leads to a reflected file download vulnerability, and allows remote attackers to run arbitrary programs.

  • DokuWiki through 2017-02-19c has stored XSS when rendering a malicious language name in a code element, in /inc/parser/xhtml.php. An attacker can create or edit a wiki with this element to trigger JavaScript execution.
