An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-29507 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore (Maven): affected from 14.4.1; fixed in 14.4.7\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore (Maven): affected from 14.4.1; fixed in 14.4.7\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore (Maven): affected from 14.5; fixed in 14.10\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore (Maven): affected from 14.5; fixed in 14.10\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-2023-29507/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-29507/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-29507","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-29507/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-29507","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pwfv-3cvg-9m4c"],"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":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can manipulate document authors to bypass rights checks and execute scripts with elevated privileges in XWiki.","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":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-648","name":"Incorrect Use of Privileged APIs"}],"description":"XWiki Commons are technical libraries common to several other top level XWiki projects.
