Authenticated server code execution via scheduler job script
Published Apr 18, 2023 · Updated Feb 5, 2025
Code injection in XWiki Platform before 14.10.3 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary server-side code via a scheduler job script. XWiki.SchedulerJobSheet renders the user-controlled Job Script property of an XWiki.SchedulerJobClass object with the sheet page's elevated rights instead of the editor's restricted rights. Any account able to edit its own profile with the object editor can add the object and obtain unrestricted access to wiki contents and the server context.
