CVE Published:

Summary

The XWiki Platform is vulnerable to HQL injection due to improper sanitization of request parameters in the document retrieval process. Starting from version 6.3-milestone-2 and up to versions 13.10.4, an attacker can exploit this vulnerability to manipulate document ordering and inject malicious HQL queries. Depending on the backend database, this could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, such as password hashes, and unauthorized modifications of database entries via UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE commands. It is crucial for users to upgrade to patched versions 13.10.5 or 14.3-rc-1 to mitigate these risks effectively.

Affected Version(s)

xwiki-platform >= 11.10.6, < 13.10.5 < 11.10.6, 13.10.5

xwiki-platform >= 14.0-rc-1, < 14.3-rc-1 < 14.0-rc-1, 14.3-rc-1
