CVE-2022-24897Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Host file access via unrestricted File methods

Published May 2, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025

Velocity sandboxing in XWiki Commons 2.3 through 12.6.6 and 12.7-rc-1 through 12.10.2 allows remote authenticated users to read or write host files. SecureIntrospector falls back to generic permission checks for java.io.File objects, allowing mutating File methods instead of enforcing a restricted method allowlist. Exploitation requires XWiki Script rights and an XWiki API that returns a File object; successful scripts can access files available to the server process.
