Summary

XWiki Platform is vulnerable to code injection in the `since` parameter of the `/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/Notifications/Code/LegacyNotificationAdministration` endpoint. This allows an XWiki syntax injection attack that can escalate privileges from view to programming rights and subsequently execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability is patched in XWiki 15.0-rc-1, 14.10.3, 14.4.8 and 14.10.3.

Risk Assessment

An authenticated attacker can gain programming rights and execute arbitrary code within the XWiki application, potentially leading to full platform compromise and data access.

Recommendation

Upgrade XWiki to version 15.0-rc-1, 14.10.3 or 14.4.8. If upgrading is not possible, modify the `XWiki.Notifications.Code.LegacyNotificationAdministration` page (and for versions < 14.6-rc-1 the `eventmigration.wiki` file) to add the missing escaping.

Original NVD description (English source)

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. Affected versions of xwiki are subject to code injection in the `since` parameter of the `/xwiki/bin/view/XWiki/Notifications/Code/LegacyNotificationAdministration` endpoint. This provides an XWiki syntax injection attack via the since-parameter, allowing privilege escalation from view to programming rights and subsequent code execution privilege. The vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 15.0-rc-1, 14.10.3, 14.4.8 and 14.10.3. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may modify the page `XWiki.Notifications.Code.LegacyNotificationAdministration` to add the missing escaping. For versions < 14.6-rc-1 a workaround is to modify the file `<xwikiwebapp>/templates/distribution/eventmigration.wiki` to add the missing escaping.
