DokuWiki

A security write-up reports roughly 3,980 internet-facing DokuWiki instances whose file-based storage leaves backup artifacts accessible, potentially exposing wiki content and credentials. DokuWiki stores pages as plain text files, and misconfigured deployments can leak data directories or archived backups. The piece highlights a recurring pattern in infrastructure security: popular, easy-to-run tools defaulting to configurations that quietly expose sensitive files to anyone scanning the web.
