Attack-Flow Graph

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can lead to full system compromise, allowing attackers to execute any system commands remotely. This results in a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system, potentially exposing sensitive data, modifying or deleting data, and disrupting services. [2]

Executive Summary

CVE-2025-51958 is a critical command injection vulnerability in the runcommand plugin for DokuWiki, specifically in the file dokuwiki/lib/plugins/runcommand/postaction.php. It allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands on the affected server without any privileges or user interaction. [2]

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by sending a crafted POST request to the vulnerable endpoint dokuwiki/lib/plugins/runcommand/postaction.php with parameters such as "rcObjectId=1&outputType1=text&command1=id". This command attempts to execute the 'id' system command remotely and returns system user and group information if the system is vulnerable. [2]

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands, leading to full system compromise with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Such a compromise can result in unauthorized access to sensitive data, potentially violating compliance requirements of standards like GDPR and HIPAA that mandate protection of personal and health information. Therefore, exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with these regulations due to data breaches and loss of data integrity. [2]
