CVE-2023-22457Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote code execution via tokenless HTML conversion

Published Jan 4, 2023 · Updated Mar 10, 2025

CSRF in XWiki Contrib CKEditor Integration before 1.64.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through a crafted GET request. The CKEditor.HTMLConverter document accepted conversion flags and macro-bearing text without validating a CSRF form token, so it rendered attacker-supplied macros with the current user's rights. Exploitation requires interaction by an XWiki user with programming rights through a crafted image URL or redirect; resulting macro execution can read private data, alter rights, or interrupt the wiki service.
