CVE-2024-31997Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated code execution via evaluated UIExtension parameters

Published Apr 10, 2024 · Updated Aug 13, 2024

Code injection in affected XWiki Platform versions allows remote authenticated users to execute code through UIExtension parameters. UIExtension parameter handling interprets every supplied value as Velocity code and evaluates it with programming rights rather than treating it as data. Any account able to edit a document, including its own profile, can trigger programming-right execution and compromise the installation.
