Description

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. Users are able to forge an URL with a payload allowing to inject Javascript in the page (XSS). For instance, the following URL execute an alter on the browser: <xwiki-host>/xwiki/bin/view/Main/?viewer=share&send=1&target=&target=%3Cimg+src+onerror%3Dalert%28document.domain%29%3E+%3Cimg+src+onerror%3Dalert%28document.domain%29%3E+%3Crenniepak%40intigriti.me%3E&includeDocument=inline&message=I+wanted+to+share+this+page+with+you., where <xwiki-host> is the URL of your XWiki installation. The vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 15.0-rc-1, 14.10.4, and 14.4.8.

Waratek protection

Mitigation candidate

A kind of vulnerability Waratek's rules address, with exploit code published or exploitation reported. No rule exists and none is planned yet. The decision below says what we found to build a rule from.

  • Protection none
  • Action unverified
  • Review automated Inferred
  • Record active
Decided by A reference pointing at the upstream fix: a commit, a PR, a Red Hat bug
Finding A reference points at an upstream fix (advisory tier): https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/security/advisories/GHSA-fwwj-wg89-7h4c. That makes this CVE a candidate for an ARMR patch rule — it is the kind of defect ARMR can address, and there is a fix to work from. No rule exists and none is scheduled: writing one means reading the linked change and finding a hook point ARMR can express it at, which may turn out not to exist.
Candidate fix https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/security/advisories/GHSA-fwwj-wg89-7h4c : the maintainers' own security advisory: names the version that fixes it, so the fix is the difference between two releases
