Summary

The XWiki Platform, a widely used wiki system, is affected by a vulnerability that enables arbitrary code execution on the server. This occurs when a specially crafted document reference and an 'XWiki.SchedulerJobClass' XObject is introduced. The exploit becomes active when an administrator accesses the scheduler page or when this page is referenced, such as through an image within a comment on any wiki page. The issue has been resolved in XWiki versions 14.10.19, 15.5.5, and 15.9. Users are advised to apply a manual patch if updating is not feasible, specifically by modifying the 'Scheduler.WebHome' page to mitigate potential risks.
