Summary

A vulnerability in XWiki allows remote unauthenticated users to escape the HQL execution context, facilitating a blind SQL injection. This enables attackers to execute arbitrary SQL queries on the backend database, potentially extracting sensitive data, such as password hashes, or executing database manipulation commands like UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE. This issue arises even if security features, like page view and editing restrictions for unregistered users, are enabled. The vulnerability has been addressed in versions 16.10.1, 16.4.6, and 15.10.16, with no known workarounds besides upgrading.
