CVE-2023-36469Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via rendered RSS feed

Published Jun 29, 2023 · Updated Nov 26, 2024

Code injection in XWiki Platform 9.6-rc-1 through 14.10.5 and 15.0-rc-1 through 15.1 allows remote authenticated users to execute code. NotificationRSSService passes attacker-controlled notification text through XWiki rendering transformations, causing macro directives embedded in a profile name to be evaluated instead of emitted as data. Access to edit a personal profile and notification settings is sufficient to run server-side Groovy or Python and read or write all wiki contents.
