      Well, looks like I have a new wiki to test.

      I really liked Wiki.js technically. But functionality wins.

      Agreed. I liked the look and layout, but it has to be easy for most people to use. Also, it has to have good progress being made.

            Unless you have untrusted users in the wiki, this is not a serious issue.

            Sure, it needs handled, but you have to be able to author/edit a page in the first place in order to exploit this.

              It's not the severity of it, it's that it's still open. It's that there's not enough development work on it that has me concerned. What's next?

              I know WP has a lot of vulnerabilities listed, but they are all patch, and they are quickly patched.

              It's a shame because Bookstack looks like a winner other than that.

                  Looks like a misleading report.

                    Still, I see it as a high-risk software. It's not widely used, the devs are slow, and I doubt big vulnerabilities are will be dealt with appropriately.

                    If it's on a VPS for example, there can be a greater potential for server-wide compromising. When it becomes more popular (which I'm sure it will because it seems great), the vulnerabilities will be discovered... and they WILL be taken advantage of.

                    I just don't trust putting software on a public server that isn't very widely used, active, and developed. I'd rather wait.

                        Not pet issue, just a CVE that I seen... which I did not test. I just assumed vulnerabilities on that site were legit. I guess not.

                        Now I have to question the credibility of every single security vulnerability on that website.

                        I don't have time to test every CVE out there to verify them.

                        Who knows, maybe Bookstack is completely secure with no possibility of a vulnerability. If that's the case, I'll definitly hop on board.

                          Thank you @JaredBusch for the excellent write up. I followed your instructions (copy and paste after editing the first section only) and did not receive any errors, however when I navigate to fqdn, it directs me to a page cannot be found page. Looking at the url it looks like is is appending the url twice.

                          For example:
                          I enter wiki.example.com
                          and it navigates me to wiki.example.com/http:/wiki.example.com/login

                          If I manually go to wiki.example.com/login I get a login page that is missing images.

                          Any thoughts?

                            Check the APP_URL in your .env file.

                            grep APP_URL /var/www/html/bookstack/.env
                            

                            You should see something like this

                              When I did that it showed app_url=http:\wiki.example.com
                              I edited it to show http:// and it is now working- thank you very much for the quick response!

                              I went back to my original file of what I entered in the app_url and I entered 'http:\wiki.example.com'

                              Did I do something wrong?

                                Yes. You have to escape the / with a \ to make the script work.
                                Look at the note I had there.

                                # Note 2: You must escape the // hence \/\/
                                export APP_FQDN='http:\/\/wiki.domain.com'

                                  Got it. I misunderstood and simply removed the two //

                                  I understand now.

                                  Again, thank you for the great write up and responses!
