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-2023-31126 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-xml (Maven): affected from 14.6-rc-1; fixed in 14.10.4\n- org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-xml (Maven): affected from 14.6-rc-1; fixed in 14.10.4\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-2023-31126/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-31126/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-31126","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-31126/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-31126","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pv7v-ph6g-3gxv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"XWiki XML library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can inject arbitrary HTML and execute scripts via invalid data attributes in the XWiki XML library, requiring an upgrade to patched versions.","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"},{"id":"CWE-86","name":"Improper Neutralization of Invalid Characters in Identifiers in Web Pages"}],"description":"`org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-xml` is an XML library used by the open-source wiki platform XWiki. The HTML sanitizer, introduced in version 14.6-rc-1, allows the injection of arbitrary HTML code and thus cross-site scripting via invalid data attributes. This vulnerability does not affect restricted cleaning in HTMLCleaner as there attributes are cleaned and thus characters like `/` and `\u003e` are removed in all attribute names. This problem has been patched in XWiki 14.10.4 and 15.0 RC1 by making sure that data attributes only contain allowed characters. There are no known workarounds apart from upgrading to a version including the fix.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2025-08-20","github_poc":2,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-08-20T16:39:04Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/shoucheng3/xwiki__xwiki-commons_CVE-2023-31126_14-10-3","stars":0,"title":null},{"date":"2025-08-20T17:20:35Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/shoucheng3/cov-int","stars":0,"title":"XWiki Commons CVE-2023-31126 v14.10.3 for Coverity analysis"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Improper Neutralization of Invalid Characters in Data Attribute Names in org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-xml","id":"CVE-2023-31126","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"xwiki:xwiki","products":["xwiki:xwiki"],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"DMTF-2023-0001: SPDM mutual authentication bypass","id":"CVE-2023-31127"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["14.10.4"],"introduced":["14.6-rc-1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-xml","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-pv7v-ph6g-3gxv"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["14.10.4"],"introduced":["14.6-rc-1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-xml","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.commons/xwiki-commons-xml","source":"GHSA-pv7v-ph6g-3gxv"}],"prev":{"headline":"Uncaught exception in engine.io","id":"CVE-2023-31125"},"products":["xwiki-commons"],"published":"2023-05-09","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":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-01-28","vendors":["xwiki"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject arbitrary HTML and execute scripts via invalid data attributes in the XWiki XML library, requiring an upgrade to patched versions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-31126/"}
