CVE-2024-31988Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Remote code execution via tokenless HTML conversion

Published Apr 10, 2024 · Updated Feb 21, 2025

Cross-site request forgery in XWiki Platform allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through an administrator’s browser. RTFrontend.ConvertHTML accepts a GET request without validating a CSRF token and renders attacker-supplied text as XWiki syntax, including Groovy or Python scripting macros. The realtime editor must be installed, and an administrator with programming rights must visit a crafted URL or view an attacker-controlled image, after which the code can compromise the entire installation.
