CVSS 3.1
8.0 highCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVE-2023-40572
High (8.0) in xwiki xwiki. EPSS 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore 14.10.9, 15.4-rc-1.
XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. The create action is vulnerable to a CSRF attack, allowing script and thus remote code execution when targeting a user with script/programming right, thus compromising the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation. When a user with script right views this image and a log message `ERROR foo - Script executed!` appears in the log, the XWiki installation is vulnerable. This has been patched in XWiki 14.10.9 and 15.4RC1 by requiring a CSRF token for the actual page creation.
