Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-37912 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.xwiki.rendering:xwiki-rendering-macro-footnotes (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 14.10.6\n- org.xwiki.rendering:xwiki-rendering-macro-footnotes (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 14.10.6\n- org.xwiki.rendering:xwiki-rendering-macro-footnotes (Maven): affected from 15.0-rc-1; fixed in 15.1-rc-1\n- org.xwiki.rendering:xwiki-rendering-macro-footnotes (Maven): affected from 15.0-rc-1; fixed in 15.1-rc-1\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-rendering-macro-footnotes (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 14.10.6\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-rendering-macro-footnotes (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 14.10.6\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-2023-37912/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-37912/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-37912","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-37912/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-37912","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-35j5-m29r-xfq5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"XWiki rendering macro","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges to programming rights and execute remote code via the footnote macro in XWiki.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"xwiki-rendering","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-270","name":"Privilege Context Switching Error"}],"description":"XWiki Rendering is a generic Rendering system that converts textual input in a given syntax into another syntax. Prior to version 14.10.6 of `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-core-rendering-macro-footnotes` and `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-rendering-macro-footnotes` and prior to version 15.1-rc-1 of `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-rendering-macro-footnotes`, the footnote macro executed its content in a potentially different context than the one in which it was defined. In particular in combination with the include macro, this allows privilege escalation from a simple user account in XWiki to programming rights and thus remote code execution, impacting the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation. This vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 14.10.6 and 15.1-rc-1.
