Summary

The XWiki Platform is vulnerable due to improper handling of inputs, allowing unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary code via the SolrSearch endpoint. This can result in significant breaches of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the XWiki installation. Users are encouraged to upgrade to versions 15.10.11, 16.4.1, or 16.5.0RC1 to mitigate risks. For those unable to upgrade immediately, a temporary fix involves modifying the SolrSearchMacros.xml file to ensure that the response type matches application/xml, thereby reducing exposure.

Affected Version(s)

xwiki-platform >= 5.3-milestone-2, < 15.10.11 < 5.3-milestone-2, 15.10.11

xwiki-platform >= 16.0.0-rc-1, < 16.4.1 < 16.0.0-rc-1, 16.4.1

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
