CVE-2023-46732 is a critical cross-site scripting vulnerability in Xwiki Xwiki, published on 6 Nov 2023. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link. ### Official description XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. XWiki is vulnerable to reflected cross-site scripting (RXSS) via the `rev` parameter that is used in the content of the content menu without escaping. If an attacker can convince a user to visit a link with a crafted parameter, this allows the attacker to execute arbitrary actions in the name of the user, including remote code (Groovy) execution in the case of a user with programming right, compromising the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation. This has been patched in XWiki 15.6 RC1, 15.5.1 and 14.10.14. The patch in commit `04e325d57` can be manually applied without upgrading (or restarting) the instance. Users are advised to upgrade or to manually apply the patch. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Affected packages and fixed versions: - org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin-resources (Maven): affected from 15.0-rc-1; fixed in 15.5.1 - org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin-resources (Maven): affected from 15.0-rc-1; fixed in 15.5.1 - org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin-resources (Maven): affected from 9.7-rc-1; fixed in 14.10.14 - org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin-resources (Maven): affected from 9.7-rc-1; fixed in 14.10.14 Task: 1. 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. 2. 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. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
