CVE-2023-46732Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Arbitrary user actions via unescaped revision parameter

Published Nov 6, 2023 · Updated Sep 5, 2024

Reflected XSS in XWiki Platform 9.7-rc-1 through 14.10.13 and 15.0-rc-1 through 15.5.0 allows remote attackers to run JavaScript. The Flamingo skin's menus_content.vm template inserts request.rev into the content-menu source URL without URL escaping, allowing crafted markup to enter the rendered page. A victim must follow the crafted link; the script acts with that user's rights and can run Groovy code when the user has programming rights.
