Unauthenticated information disclosure via wrong wiki context
Published Mar 19, 2025 · Updated Mar 19, 2025
Incorrect authorization in XWiki Platform allows remote attackers to read private subwiki pages through unauthenticated REST requests. DefaultAuthorizationManager checks whether authentication is required using the ambient wiki context rather than the requested entity's subwiki context. Exposure requires a subwiki configured to prevent unregistered users from viewing or editing pages; the documented impact is private-data disclosure only.
