CVE-2022-36096Network attack vector

Stored XSS via unescaped deleted attachment metadata

Published Sep 8, 2022 · Updated Apr 23, 2025

Stored XSS in the Index UI of affected XWiki Platform releases allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript. DeletedAttachments.xml passes the filename and other attachment-row metadata directly to Element.update without HTML escaping, causing markup in a crafted filename to enter the page DOM. Exploitation requires permission to create the crafted attachment and a user to view the deleted-attachments index, where the script runs in that user's browser context.
