Description

XWiki is a generic wiki platform. In versions starting from 1.8.1 to before 14.10.22, from 15.0-rc-1 to before 15.10.12, from 16.0.0-rc-1 to before 16.4.3, and from 16.5.0-rc-1 to before 16.7.0, anyone can access the metadata of any attachment in the wiki using the wiki attachment REST endpoint. There is no filtering for the results depending on current user rights, meaning an unauthenticated user could exploit this even in a private wiki. This issue has been patched in versions 14.10.22, 15.10.12, 16.4.3, and 16.7.0.

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/37ecea84fdd053c33733c2ae9a0778bf98eae608. 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.
