CVE-2023-46242Network attack vector

Victim-triggered code execution via tokenless edit requests

Published Nov 7, 2023 · Updated Sep 12, 2024

Code injection in XWiki Platform before 14.10.7 allows remote attackers to execute Groovy code through a crafted edit URL. The edit action accepts request-supplied content without a valid CSRF token and renders it with the current user's authority. Exploitation requires a user with programming rights to load the URL, enabling arbitrary server-side Groovy execution under that user's rights.
