Description

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. In versions 4.2-milestone-3 through 16.4.7, 16.5.0-rc-1 through 16.10.5 and 17.0.0-rc-1 through 17.2.2, two templates contain reflected XSS vulnerabilities, allowing an attacker to execute malicious JavaScript code in the context of the victim's session by getting the victim to visit an attacker-controlled URL. This permits the attacker to perform arbitrary actions using the permissions of the victim. This issue is fixed in versions 16.4.8, 16.10.6 and 17.3.0-rc-1. To workaround the issue, manually patch the WAR with the same changes as the original patch.

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 (commit tier): https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/e5926a938cbecc8b1eaa48053d8d370cff107cb0. 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.
