The sendRequest method in HTTPClient Class in file /inc/HTTPClient.php in DokuWiki 2016-06-26a and older, when media file fetching is enabled, has no way to restrict access to private networks. This allows users to scan ports of internal networks via SSRF, such as 10.0.0.1/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-7964 affects older DokuWiki installations. When media file fetching is enabled, the wiki can be abused to make server-side requests into private networks, letting an authenticated or otherwise capable user probe internal ports. The main business risk is internal reconnaissance from a public-facing wiki, not confirmed remote code execution. Exposure is limited to DokuWiki 2016-06-26a and older with media file fetching enabled, especially if the server can reach private network ranges or sensitive internal services. Treat this as a moderate-priority exposure review for legacy DokuWiki systems. It is most urgent where a public wiki can reach internal networks, because it may help attackers map internal services before a larger intrusion. Mitigation focus: Identify DokuWiki deployments at version 2016-06-26a or older.; Check DokuWiki vendor guidance and the GitHub issue for fixed release information.; Disable media file fetching where it is not required..
