Remote code execution via unescaped domain parameter
Published Sep 8, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025
Eval injection in XWiki Platform 5.3-milestone-2 through 13.10.5 and 14.0 through 14.3 allows remote attackers to execute code. XWikiServerClassSheet inserts the request domain into translation-macro parameters without escaping XWiki syntax, allowing injected Groovy, Python, or Velocity macros to run. The requester needs view access to the sheet and a programming-rights page; successful execution bypasses rights checks and permits stored-content disclosure or modification and service interruption.
