CVE-2025-54385Network attack vector

SQL injection via unsanitized searchDocuments HQL

Published Jul 26, 2025 · Updated Jul 28, 2025

SQL injection in XWiki Platform before 16.10.6 and 17.0.0-rc1 through 17.2.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute SQL. The searchDocuments APIs pass attacker-controlled HQL directly to Hibernate, whose native-function support invokes Oracle routines from clauses such as WHERE. Exploitation requires a high-privilege XWiki account and an Oracle-backed deployment; injected queries can read, change, or delete database data.
