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-2023-40177 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-appwithinminutes-ui (Maven): affected from 4.3-milestone-2; fixed in 14.10.5\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-appwithinminutes-ui (Maven): affected from 4.3-milestone-2; fixed in 14.10.5\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-2023-40177/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40177/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-40177","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40177/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-40177","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5mf8-v43w-mfxp"],"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":"Registered users can escalate privileges and execute arbitrary scripts by exploiting the AppWithinMinutes content field in their user profile.","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":9.9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"},{"id":"CWE-95","name":"Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code"}],"description":"XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. Any registered user can use the content field of their user profile page to execute arbitrary scripts with programming rights, thus effectively performing rights escalation. This issue is present since version 4.3M2 when AppWithinMinutes Application added support for the Content field, allowing any wiki page (including the user profile page) to use its content as an AWM Content field, which has a custom displayer that executes the content with the rights of the ``AppWithinMinutes.Content`` author, rather than the rights of the content author. The vulnerability has been fixed in XWiki 14.10.5 and 15.1RC1. The fix is in the content of the AppWithinMinutes.Content page that defines the custom displayer. By using the ``display`` script service to render the content we make sure that the proper author is used for access rights checks.","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":"XWiki Platform privilege escalation (PR) from account through AWM content fields","id":"CVE-2023-40177","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"xwiki:xwiki","products":["xwiki:xwiki"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2023"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"@node-saml/node-saml's validatePostRequestAsync does not include checkTimestampsValidityError","id":"CVE-2023-40178"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["14.10.5"],"introduced":["4.3-milestone-2"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-appwithinminutes-ui","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-5mf8-v43w-mfxp"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["14.10.5"],"introduced":["4.3-milestone-2"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-appwithinminutes-ui","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.platform/xwiki-platform-appwithinminutes-ui","source":"GHSA-5mf8-v43w-mfxp"}],"prev":{"headline":"SXSS in the user profile via the timezone displayer","id":"CVE-2023-40176"},"products":["xwiki-platform"],"published":"2023-08-23","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":"2024-10-03","vendors":["xwiki"]},"summary":"Registered users can escalate privileges and execute arbitrary scripts by exploiting the AppWithinMinutes content field in their user profile.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40177/"}
