Security update has been released for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore,org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web to fix the vulnerability. Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
It is possible to persistently inject scripts in XWiki. For unregistred users: - By filling simple text fields For registered users: - By filling their personal information - (if they have edit rights) By filling the values of static lists using App Within Minutes That can lead to user's session hijacking, and if used in conjunction with a social engineering attack it can also lead to disclosure of sensitive data, CSRF attacks and other security vulnerabilities. That can also lead to the attacker taking over an account. If the victim has administrative rights it might even lead to code execution on the server, depending on the application and the privileges of the account.
There is no easy workaround except upgrading XWiki.
