What is CVE-2025-32974?

A vulnerability exists in the XWiki Platform where the rights analysis mechanism fails to appropriately evaluate TextAreas with default content types. This oversight allows users with certain permissions to inject malicious scripts within a page. Such scripts can be executed by users with specific administrative rights, jeopardizing the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the entire XWiki instance. This issue affects versions 15.9-rc-1 to 15.10.7 and 16.0.0-rc-1 to 16.1.9, and has been addressed in the subsequent releases.

Affected Version(s)

xwiki-platform >= 15.9-rc-1, < 15.10.8 < 15.9-rc-1, 15.10.8

xwiki-platform >= 16.0.0-rc-1, < 16.2.0 < 16.0.0-rc-1, 16.2.0
