What is CVE-2024-21650?

The XWiki Platform is susceptible to a remote code execution vulnerability due to improper handling of user input in the user registration feature. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious payloads via the 'first name' or 'last name' fields during the registration process. The risk is significant for installations that permit guest user registrations, as an attacker could potentially execute arbitrary code on the server. This vulnerability has been addressed in the subsequent releases: XWiki 14.10.17, 15.5.3, and 15.8 RC1, urging users to update their installations to mitigate security risks.
