## Affected

- redimp otterwiki: from 2.20.1, fixed in 2.26.2

## Description

An Otter Wiki 2.20.1 before 2.26.2 contains a file disclosure vulnerability in the DataTable embedding that allows attackers who can edit pages, including anonymous users under the default configuration, to read repository-internal files. Attackers can set an absolute src such as /.git/config to render the file as a table, exposing any stored remote credentials.

### Is it being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.
