# CVE-2023-48241: XWiki exposed whole content of all documents of all wikis to anybody with view right on Solr suggest service > Attackers with view rights can bypass authorization checks to read all wiki content via the Solr search service. - **Severity:** High 7.5 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N`) - **Exploited in the wild:** Not known - **Login needed:** Not needed - **Attackable:** Over the internet - **Victim action needed:** Not needed - **Fix available:** Yes - **Published:** 20 Nov 2023 - **Updated:** 2 Aug 2024 - **Also known as:** GHSA-7fqr-97j7-jgf4 ## What is CVE-2023-48241? CVE-2023-48241 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Xwiki Xwiki, published on 20 Nov 2023. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim. ### Official description XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. Starting in version 6.3-milestone-2 and prior to versions 14.10.15, 15.5.1, and 15.6RC1, the Solr-based search suggestion provider that also duplicates as generic JavaScript API for search results in XWiki exposes the content of all documents of all wikis to anybody who has access to it, by default it is public. This exposes all information stored in the wiki (but not some protected information like password hashes). While there is a right check normally, the right check can be circumvented by explicitly requesting fields from Solr that don't include the data for the right check. This has been fixed in XWiki 15.6RC1, 15.5.1 and 14.10.15 by not listing documents whose rights cannot be checked. No known workarounds are available.

Affected packages and fixed versions: - org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-query (Maven): affected from 15.0-rc-1; fixed in 15.5.1 - org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-query (Maven): affected from 15.0-rc-1; fixed in 15.5.1 - org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-query (Maven): affected from 6.3-milestone-2; fixed in 14.10.15 - org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-query (Maven): affected from 6.3-milestone-2; fixed in 14.10.15 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.
