Date Published: 2023-10-26

QID 995718: Java (Maven) Security Update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web (GHSA-gr82-8fj2-ggc3)

An attacker can create a template provider on any document that is part of the wiki (could be the attacker's user profile) that contains malicious code. This code is executed when this template provider is selected during document creation which can be triggered by sending the user to a URL. For the attacker, the only requirement is to have an account as by default the own user profile is editable. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary actions with the rights of the user opening the malicious link. Depending on the rights of the user, this may allow remote code execution and full read and write access to the whole XWiki installation.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to a security breach or could affect integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
