CVE-2024-31997
XWiki Platform remote code execution from account through UIExtension parameters
In short
XWiki Platform executes UI extension parameters as code with full programming rights, allowing any user with edit permissions (including on their own profile) to run arbitrary commands and compromise the entire system.
Technical detail
CWE-862 (Missing Authorization): UI extension parameters are unsafely interpreted as Velocity code and executed with programming privileges. Any authenticated user with document edit rights can inject malicious parameters, leading to remote code execution and complete system compromise. Affected versions: <14.10.19, <15.5.4, <15.9-RC1.
Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. Prior to versions 4.10.19, 15.5.4, and 15.10-rc-1, parameters of UI extensions are always interpreted as Velocity code and executed with programming rights. Any user with edit right on any document like the user's own profile can create UI extensions. This allows remote code execution and thereby impacts the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation. This vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 14.10.19, 15.5.4 and 15.9-RC1. No known workarounds are available.
