An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, 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-2023-45136 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates (Maven): affected from 12.0-rc-1; fixed in 14.10.12\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates (Maven): affected from 12.0-rc-1; 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\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-2023-45136/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45136/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-45136","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45136/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-45136","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qcj9-gcpg-4w2w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"XWiki Platform","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Reflected XSS in XWiki allows attackers to execute arbitrary actions and potentially gain full read/write access if name validation is enabled.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"xwiki","vendor":"xwiki"}],"cvss":{"score":9.7,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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"}],"description":"XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. When document names are validated according to a name strategy (disabled by default), XWiki starting in version 12.0-rc-1 and prior to versions 12.10.12 and 15.5-rc-1 is vulnerable to a reflected cross-site scripting attack in the page creation form. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary actions with the rights of the user opening the malicious link. Depending on the rights of the user, this may allow remote code execution and full read and write access to the whole XWiki installation. This has been patched in XWiki 14.10.12 and 15.5-rc-1 by adding appropriate escaping. The vulnerable template file `createinline.vm` is part of XWiki's WAR and can be patched by manually applying the changes from the fix.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2023/CVE-2023-45136.yaml","stars":null,"title":"XWiki \u003c 14.10.14 - Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"XWiki Platform web templates vulnerable to reflected XSS in the create document form if name validation is enabled","id":"CVE-2023-45136","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"xwiki:xwiki","products":["xwiki:xwiki"],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"XWiki Platform XSS with edit right in the create document form for existing pages","id":"CVE-2023-45137"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["14.10.12"],"introduced":["12.0-rc-1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-qcj9-gcpg-4w2w"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["14.10.12"],"introduced":["12.0-rc-1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.platform/xwiki-platform-web-templates","source":"GHSA-qcj9-gcpg-4w2w"},{"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-qcj9-gcpg-4w2w"},{"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-qcj9-gcpg-4w2w"}],"prev":{"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"},"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-10","vendors":["xwiki"]},"summary":"Reflected XSS in XWiki allows attackers to execute arbitrary actions and potentially gain full read/write access if name validation is enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45136/"}
