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-2023-45135 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 14.10.12\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 14.10.12\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates (Maven): affected from 15.0-rc-1; fixed in 15.5-rc-1\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates (Maven): affected from 15.0-rc-1; fixed in 15.5-rc-1\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web (Maven): affected from 7.2-milestone-2; fixed in 14.10.12\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web (Maven): affected from 7.2-milestone-2; fixed in 14.10.12\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-2023-45135/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45135/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-45135","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45135/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-45135","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-ghf6-2f42-mjh9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"XWiki platform","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can trick users into executing malicious scripts via hidden page titles, leading to code execution or full instance compromise.","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-116","name":"Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output"}],"description":"XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. In `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web` versions 7.2-milestone-2 until 14.10.12 and `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates` prior to versions 14.10.12 and 15.5-rc-1, it is possible to pass a title to the page creation action that isn't displayed at first but then executed in the second step. This can be used by an attacker to trick a victim to execute code, allowing script execution if the victim has script right or remote code execution including full access to the XWiki instance if the victim has programming right.\n\nFor the attack to work, the attacker needs to convince the victim to visit a link like `\u003cxwiki-host\u003e/xwiki/bin/create/NonExistingSpace/WebHome?title=$services.logging.getLogger(%22foo%22).error(%22Script%20executed!%22)` where `\u003cxwiki-host\u003e`  is the URL of the Wiki installation and to then click on the \"Create\" button on that page. The page looks like a regular XWiki page that the victim would also see when clicking the button to create a page that doesn't exist yet, the malicious code is not displayed anywhere on that page. After clicking the \"Create\" button, the malicious title would be displayed but at this point, the code has already been executed and the attacker could use this code also to hide the attack, e.g., by redirecting the victim again to the same page with an innocent title. It thus seems plausible that this attack could work if the attacker can place a fake \"create page\" button on a page which is possible with edit right.\n\nThis has been patched in `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web` version 14.10.12 and `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates` versions 14.10.12 and 15.5-rc-1 by displaying the title already in the first step such that the victim can notice the attack before continuing. It is possible to manually patch the modified files from the patch in an existing installation. For the JavaScript change, the minified JavaScript file would need to be obtained from a build of XWiki and replaced accordingly.","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 users can be tricked to execute scripts as the create page action doesn't display the page's title","id":"CVE-2023-45135","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"xwiki:xwiki","products":["xwiki:xwiki"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2023"},"n_packages":6,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"XWiki Platform web templates vulnerable to reflected XSS in the create document form if name validation is enabled","id":"CVE-2023-45136"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["14.10.12"],"introduced":["7.2-milestone-2"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-ghf6-2f42-mjh9"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["14.10.12"],"introduced":["7.2-milestone-2"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.platform/xwiki-platform-web","source":"GHSA-ghf6-2f42-mjh9"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["14.10.12"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-ghf6-2f42-mjh9"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["14.10.12"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.platform/xwiki-platform-web-templates","source":"GHSA-ghf6-2f42-mjh9"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["15.5-rc-1"],"introduced":["15.0-rc-1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-ghf6-2f42-mjh9"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["15.5-rc-1"],"introduced":["15.0-rc-1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.platform/xwiki-platform-web-templates","source":"GHSA-ghf6-2f42-mjh9"}],"prev":{"headline":"XWiki Platform XSS vulnerability from account in the create page form via template provider","id":"CVE-2023-45134"},"products":["xwiki-platform"],"published":"2023-10-25","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":"2024-09-10","vendors":["xwiki"]},"summary":"Attackers can trick users into executing malicious scripts via hidden page titles, leading to code execution or full instance compromise.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45135/"}
