  Security Release

  • Update Instructions
  • Update details on blog

  This is a security release to address a range of vulnerabilities:

  • External Authentication Use (OIDC/SAML2/LDAP) could potentially mismatch external authentication system users to BookStack users upon login, where unique IDs are very similar (same ID text but different casing, or accented characters).
  • The login form could be abused to use timing to gain information about if a user exists in the system. This was already limited by request rate-limits, but could still have assisted targeted scenarios.
  • Certain editor content could be used to load interactive content over file links when exported, which could then pose a risk after being exported in Windows environments which use NTLM.
  • API errors could include debug details by default, and therefore potentially expose some system details like file paths.
  • With our default PDF rendering option, certain content could be used to access/check for files on the BookStack host beyond the scope of what we'd expect.

  Upgrading is generally advised, but more so for instances using OIDC, SAML2 or LDAP authentication.

  Thanks to Tanner Marks (GitHub), Gurmandeep Deol (LinkedIn) and whale120 (Blog, X, Working with DEVCORE Internship Program) for responsibly reporting issues addressed in this release.

  Security Release

  • Update Instructions
  • Update details on blog

  This is a security release to address the following vulnerabilities:

  • Attachment requests could be manipulated to leak details/links/metadata (not content) of attachments which the user did not have permission to view.
  • The file:// protocol could be abused in some Windows-specific scenarios to auto-run requests with credential information when viewing exports.
    • This protocol is now filtered from interactive content.
  • The search system could be abused to cause errors and fill logs.

  Upgrade is advised for instances with public viewing enabled, or where untrusted users have authenticated access.

  Thanks to Stephen O. / Sakusen (Codeberg, Website), Gurmandeep Deol (LinkedIn), Rafael Castilho (X account) and Gabriel Duarte Guerra (GitHub) for responsibly reporting these issues.

  Full List of Changes

  • Updated PHP package versions.
  • Updated translations with the latest Crowdin changes.
  • Updated content allow-filtering to only allow the file:// protocol on anchor hrefs, instead of in all dynamic content.
  • Updated attachment update handling to validate permissions before request content.
  • Fixed numeric handling issue in tag search when using non-standard numbers.

  Upgrade Notices

  • Folder Permissions - Due to some changes in how fonts are used for exports, after updating you may need to ensure that the storage/fonts folder (and all folders within that) are accessible & writable by the web-server. If you start seeing errors on PDF export after updating, it's likely this issue. See this page for guidance on setting permissions.
  • Revision Access - Revision access & visibility is now controlled separately to pages. In some cases, after upgrading, users may no longer be able to access revisions by default (for example, where users had access to view page content but had no role-level view permissions).

  Upgrade Notices

  • Email/SMTP - The way BookStack sends messages has changed slightly (Specifically, the SMTP HELO domain). This isn't expected to be a breaking change but testing of emails (Using the test send action in Settings > Maintenance) is advised after updating to be sure there's no impact.
  • Theme System - Within a theme directory, the modules/ folder is now dedicated to theme modules. If you happened to already have a folder of this name in your theme, it's advised to use a different folder name instead.
