What is CVE-2025-54125?

The XWiki Platform contains a vulnerability in its XML export feature, allowing any user with view rights to access sensitive information, including password and email properties that are not explicitly named. This can occur when a user appends '?xpage=xml' to the URL of a page, potentially leading to unauthorized data disclosure. The vulnerability affects various versions of the platform and has been patched in subsequent releases. Users are advised to upgrade to versions 16.4.7, 16.10.5, or 17.2.0-rc-1 to mitigate this issue. For an immediate workaround, users can delete the templates/xml.vm file in the deployed WAR if XML export functionality is not required.
