Access-rule overwrite via colliding security cache keys
Published Sep 7, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025
Improper authorization in affected XWiki Platform branches allows remote authenticated users to overwrite page or space access rights over the network. The security cache assigns a document such as Page1.Page2 and the identically named space to one entry, causing the first cached rule set to be reused for the other. A low-privileged account can create the colliding page and prime the cache, exposing protected content or permitting unauthorized modifications.
