Velocity code execution via document title reassignment
Published Dec 21, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Code injection in XWiki Platform allows remote authenticated users to execute Velocity expressions through crafted document titles. The document tree macro passes an attacker-controlled title back to XWikiDocument.setTitle before reading plainTitle, causing evaluation during tree rendering. Creating and saving a document is required; the demonstrated consequence exposes request data in the navigation panel despite the absence of script right.
