Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-21380 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-ratings-api (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 12.9\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-ratings-api (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 12.9\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21380/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21380/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-21380","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21380/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-21380","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-79rg-7mv3-jrr5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"XWiki Platform","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers with Script rights can inject SQL via the Rating Script Service in XWiki if the Ratings API is installed, allowing data access or modification.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"sql_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"xwiki","vendor":"xwiki"}],"cvss":{"score":7.7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-89","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command"}],"description":"XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. In affected versions of XWiki Platform (and only those with the Ratings API installed), the Rating Script Service expose an API to perform SQL requests without escaping the from and where search arguments. This might lead to an SQL script injection quite easily for any user having Script rights on XWiki. The problem has been patched in XWiki 12.9RC1. The only workaround besides upgrading XWiki would be to uninstall the Ratings API in XWiki from the Extension Manager.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2022-12-06","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":12,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2022-12-06T00:53:08Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/rvermeulen/codeql-workshop-cve-2021-21380","stars":12,"title":"A CodeQL workshop covering CVE-2021-21380"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Rating Script Service expose XWiki to SQL injection","id":"CVE-2021-21380","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"xwiki:xwiki","products":["xwiki:xwiki"],"type":"sql_injection","year":"2021"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Sandbox escape via special tokens in .desktop file","id":"CVE-2021-21381"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["12.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-ratings-api","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-79rg-7mv3-jrr5"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["12.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-ratings-api","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.platform/xwiki-platform-ratings-api","source":"GHSA-79rg-7mv3-jrr5"}],"prev":{"headline":"It's possible to execute anything with the rights of the author of a macro which uses the {{wikimacrocontent}} macro","id":"CVE-2021-21379"},"products":["xwiki-platform"],"published":"2021-03-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"XWiki Platform Eval Injection","id":"CVE-2025-24893","kev_date_added":"2025-10-30","published":"2025-02-20"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"XWiki Rendering is vulnerable to RCE attacks when processing nested macros","id":"CVE-2025-53836","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"XWiki allows remote code execution through the extension sheet","id":"CVE-2024-55662","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"XWiki allows remote code execution from account through macro descriptions and XWiki.XWikiSyntaxMacrosList","id":"CVE-2024-55877","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"XWiki Platform vulnerable to remote code execution from account via SearchSuggestConfigSheet","id":"CVE-2024-37901","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-31"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"XWiki programming rights may be inherited by inclusion","id":"CVE-2024-38369","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-24"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"XWiki Platform: Remote code execution from account via SearchSuggestSourceSheet","id":"CVE-2024-31465","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-10"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["xwiki"]},"summary":"Attackers with Script rights can inject SQL via the Rating Script Service in XWiki if the Ratings API is installed, allowing data access or modification.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-21380/"}
