Actively exploited in the wild
XWiki Platform Eval Injection Vulnerability
XWiki - Platform · Listed in the CISA KEV since 2025-10-30. This indicates confirmed attacks in production environments.
Required action: Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
CVE-2025-24893
CriticalCVSS 9.8KEVSummary
XWiki Platform allows any guest to perform arbitrary remote code execution through a request to `SolrSearch`. This impacts the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the whole XWiki installation.
Risk Assessment
An unauthenticated attacker can execute arbitrary code on the XWiki server, leading to full system compromise and loss of control over data. This may result in data leakage, modification, or destruction.
Recommendation
Upgrade XWiki to version 15.10.11, 16.4.1, or 16.5.0RC1. If upgrading is not possible, manually edit `Main.SolrSearchMacros` in `SolrSearchMacros.xml` as per vendor instructions.

See all- CVE-2026-33137Critical
A vulnerability in XWiki Platform versions starting with 15.10.6 and prior to 18.1.0-rc-1, 17.10.3, 17.4.9, and 16.10.17. The POST /wikis/{wikiName} API performs a XAR import without authentication or authorization checks, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to create or update documents in the target wiki.
- CVE-2026-23734Critical
A vulnerability in XWiki Platform allows reading configuration files by manipulating the resource parameter in ssx and jsx endpoints, leading to Path Traversal. Affects versions prior to 18.1.0-rc-1, 17.10.3, 17.4.9, and 16.10.17.
- CVE-2026-33229Critical
XWiki Platform is a wiki platform. Prior to versions 17.4.8 and 17.10.1, an improperly protected scripting API allows users with script right to bypass the Velocity sandbox and execute arbitrary Python scripts, leading to full access to the XWiki instance.
- CVE-2023-40573Critical
XWiki Platform has a vulnerability that allows remote code execution by an attacker with edit rights on the wiki. It exploits a flaw in the job scheduler and an issue with content author authorization. This vulnerability has been patched in XWiki versions 14.10.9 and 15.4RC1.
- CVE-2023-40572Critical
XWiki Platform is vulnerable to a CSRF attack in the create action, allowing remote code execution by users with appropriate permissions. If a user with script rights sees a specific log message, the XWiki installation is at risk.
- CVE-2023-40177Critical
XWiki Platform allows registered users to execute arbitrary scripts in the content field of their profile page, leading to rights escalation. This issue has been present since version 4.3M2 when support for the content field was added in the AppWithinMinutes application.
- CVE-2023-40176Critical
XWiki Platform has a stored XSS vulnerability that can be exploited by registered users by setting a malicious payload in the time zone user preference. Although the time zone is selected from a dropdown, it can still be set using JavaScript or the appropriate URL.
- CVE-2023-37914Critical
XWiki Platform allows users who can view `Invitation.WebHome` to execute arbitrary script macros, including Groovy and Python, leading to remote code execution. This vulnerability allows unrestricted read and write access to all wiki contents.
- CVE-2023-37462Critical
XWiki Platform has a vulnerability due to improper escaping in the `SkinsCode.XWikiSkinsSheet` document. This allows attackers to execute arbitrary script macros, including Groovy and Python, leading to remote code execution and unrestricted access to wiki content.
- CVE-2023-37277Critical
XWiki Platform has a vulnerability that allows remote code execution via a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attack using the REST API. Exploitation of this flaw by a user with programming rights can impact the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of the entire XWiki installation.
Original NVD description (English source)
XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. Any guest can perform arbitrary remote code execution through a request to `SolrSearch`. This impacts the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation. To reproduce on an instance, without being logged in, go to `<host>/xwiki/bin/get/Main/SolrSearch?media=rss&text=%7D%7D%7D%7B%7Basync%20async%3Dfalse%7D%7D%7B%7Bgroovy%7D%7Dprintln%28"Hello%20from"%20%2B%20"%20search%20text%3A"%20%2B%20%2823%20%2B%2019%29%29%7B%7B%2Fgroovy%7D%7D%7B%7B%2Fasync%7D%7D%20`. If there is an output, and the title of the RSS feed contains `Hello from search text:42`, then the instance is vulnerable. This vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 15.10.11, 16.4.1 and 16.5.0RC1. Users are advised to upgrade. Users unable to upgrade may edit `Main.SolrSearchMacros` in `SolrSearchMacros.xml` on line 955 to match the `rawResponse` macro in `macros.vm#L2824` with a content type of `application/xml`, instead of simply outputting the content of the feed.
