CVE-2024-41947Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Stored XSS via unescaped conflict-resolution diff

Published Jul 31, 2024 · Updated Aug 13, 2024

Stored XSS in CryptPad XWiki Platform before 15.10.8 or 16.3.0-rc-1 allows remote authenticated users to run JavaScript. The diff_macros.vm conflict renderer joins edited values directly into a span without XML escaping, so crafted script tags become executable markup. Exploitation requires edit rights on the same page, a higher-privileged user to save a conflicting edit, and that user to choose individual conflict resolution; the script then runs in that user's browser context.
