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-2023-40573 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-scheduler-api (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 14.10.9\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-scheduler-api (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 14.10.9\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-scheduler-api (Maven): affected from 15.0-rc-1; fixed in 15.4-rc-1\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-scheduler-api (Maven): affected from 15.0-rc-1; fixed in 15.4-rc-1\n- com.xpn.xwiki.platform.plugins:xwiki-plugin-scheduler (Maven): affected from 1.3; no fix listed\n- com.xpn.xwiki.platform.plugins:xwiki-plugin-scheduler (Maven): affected from 1.3; no fix listed\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-2023-40573/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40573/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-40573","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40573/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-40573","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8xhr-x3v8-rghj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"XWiki Platform","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers with edit rights can achieve remote code execution via Groovy scheduled jobs due to incorrect author verification and CSRF.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"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-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. XWiki supports scheduled jobs that contain Groovy scripts. Currently, the job checks the content author of the job for programming right. However, modifying or adding a job script to a document doesn't modify the content author. Together with a CSRF vulnerability in the job scheduler, this can be exploited for remote code execution by an attacker with edit right on the wiki. If the attack is successful, an error log entry with \"Job content executed\" will be produced.
