Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-29202 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-rendering-macro-rss (Maven): affected from 1.8 up to 3.0.1; no fix listed\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-rendering-macro-rss (Maven): affected from 1.8 up to 3.0.1; no fix listed\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rendering-macro-rss (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 14.6-rc-1\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rendering-macro-rss (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 14.6-rc-1\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-2023-29202/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-29202/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-29202","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-29202/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-29202","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c885-89fw-55qr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"XWiki platform","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts via RSS feeds, potentially leading to remote code execution and privilege escalation in XWiki.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"xwiki","vendor":"xwiki"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"XWiki Commons are technical libraries common to several other top level XWiki projects. The RSS macro that is bundled in XWiki included the content of the feed items without any cleaning in the HTML output when the parameter `content` was set to `true`. This allowed arbitrary HTML and in particular also JavaScript injection and thus cross-site scripting (XSS) by specifying an RSS feed with malicious content. With the interaction of a user with programming rights, this could be used to execute arbitrary actions in the wiki, including privilege escalation, remote code execution, information disclosure, modifying or deleting content and sabotaging the wiki. The issue has been patched in XWiki 14.6 RC1, the content of the feed is now properly cleaned before being displayed. As a workaround, if the RSS macro isn't used in the wiki, the macro can be uninstalled by deleting `WEB-INF/lib/xwiki-platform-rendering-macro-rss-XX.jar`, where `XX` is XWiki's version, in the web application's directory.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rendering-macro-rss Cross-site Scripting vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-29202","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"xwiki:xwiki","products":["xwiki:xwiki"],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Unauthenticated user can have information about hidden users on subwikis through uorgsuggest.vm","id":"CVE-2023-29203"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["1.8"],"last_affected":["3.0.1"],"package":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-rendering-macro-rss","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-c885-89fw-55qr"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":[],"introduced":["1.8"],"last_affected":["3.0.1"],"package":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-rendering-macro-rss","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.platform/xwiki-core-rendering-macro-rss","source":"GHSA-c885-89fw-55qr"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["14.6-rc-1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rendering-macro-rss","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-c885-89fw-55qr"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["14.6-rc-1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rendering-macro-rss","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.platform/xwiki-platform-rendering-macro-rss","source":"GHSA-c885-89fw-55qr"}],"prev":{"headline":"org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-xml Cross-site Scripting vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-29201"},"products":["xwiki-platform"],"published":"2023-04-15","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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-06","vendors":["xwiki"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts via RSS feeds, potentially leading to remote code execution and privilege escalation in XWiki.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-29202/"}
