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/cb578b1b2910d06e9dd7581077072d1cfbd280f2. 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.
