CVE-2023-26474Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via misattributed property rendering

Published Mar 2, 2023 · Updated Mar 5, 2025

Improper access control in affected XWiki Platform releases allows remote authenticated users to execute Groovy code via text-area profile fields. Profile property rendering evaluates embedded wiki syntax with the existing document content author's rights instead of the editing user's rights. Any account able to edit its profile can inherit a privileged content author's script authority, enabling code execution with access to the wiki's data and service.
