Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-26471 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rendering-async-macro (Maven): affected from 11.6-rc-1; fixed in 13.10.10\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rendering-async-macro (Maven): affected from 11.6-rc-1; fixed in 13.10.10\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rendering-async-macro (Maven): affected from 14.0; fixed in 14.4.6\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rendering-async-macro (Maven): affected from 14.0; fixed in 14.4.6\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rendering-async-macro (Maven): affected from 14.5; fixed in 14.9\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rendering-async-macro (Maven): affected from 14.5; fixed in 14.9\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-2023-26471/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-26471/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-26471","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-26471/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-26471","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9cqm-5wf7-wcj7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"XWiki Platform","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers with comment rights can execute arbitrary code with superadmin privileges via the async macro, bypassing restricted mode restrictions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"xwiki","vendor":"xwiki"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. Starting in version 11.6-rc-1, comments are supposed to be executed with the right of superadmin but in restricted mode (anything dangerous is disabled), but the async macro does not take into account the restricted mode. This means that any user with comment right can use the async macro to make it execute any wiki content with the right of superadmin. This has been patched in XWiki 14.9, 14.4.6, and 13.10.10.
