Summary
TWiki 4.0.5 and earlier, when running under Apache 1.3 using ApacheLogin with sessions and "ErrorDocument 401" redirects to a valid wiki topic, does not properly handle failed login attempts, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary content by cancelling out of a failed authentication with a valid username and invalid password.
Exploit prediction
2.22% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 82% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
