An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-31996 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-velocity (Maven): affected from 15.0-rc-1; fixed in 15.5.4\n- org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-velocity (Maven): affected from 15.0-rc-1; fixed in 15.5.4\n- org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-velocity (Maven): affected from 15.6-rc-1; fixed in 15.9-rc-1\n- org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-velocity (Maven): affected from 15.6-rc-1; fixed in 15.9-rc-1\n- org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-velocity (Maven): affected from 3.0.1; fixed in 14.10.19\n- org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-velocity (Maven): affected from 3.0.1; fixed in 14.10.19\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-2024-31996/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-31996/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-31996","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-31996/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-31996","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hf43-47q4-fhq5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"XWiki platform","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can achieve remote code execution in XWiki by exploiting missing escaping of curly braces in the Velocity escapetool.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"xwiki","vendor":"xwiki"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"},{"id":"CWE-95","name":"Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code"}],"description":"XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. Starting in version 3.0.1 and prior to versions 4.10.19, 15.5.4, and 15.10-rc-1, the HTML escaping of escaping tool that is used in XWiki doesn't escape `{`, which, when used in certain places, allows XWiki syntax injection and thereby remote code execution. The vulnerability has been fixed in XWiki 14.10.19, 15.5.5, and 15.9 RC1. Apart from upgrading, there is no generic workaround. However, replacing `$escapetool.html` by `$escapetool.xml` in XWiki documents fixes the vulnerability. In a standard XWiki installation, the maintainers are only aware of the document `Panels.PanelLayoutUpdate` that exposes this vulnerability, patching this document is thus a workaround. Any extension could expose this vulnerability and might thus require patching, too.","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 Commons missing escaping of `{` in Velocity escapetool allows remote code execution","id":"CVE-2024-31996","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"xwiki:xwiki","products":["xwiki:xwiki"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2024"},"n_packages":6,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"XWiki Platform remote code execution from account through UIExtension parameters","id":"CVE-2024-31997"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["15.5.4"],"introduced":["15.0-rc-1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-velocity","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-hf43-47q4-fhq5"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["15.5.4"],"introduced":["15.0-rc-1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-velocity","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.commons/xwiki-commons-velocity","source":"GHSA-hf43-47q4-fhq5"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["15.9-rc-1"],"introduced":["15.6-rc-1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-velocity","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-hf43-47q4-fhq5"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["15.9-rc-1"],"introduced":["15.6-rc-1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-velocity","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.commons/xwiki-commons-velocity","source":"GHSA-hf43-47q4-fhq5"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["14.10.19"],"introduced":["3.0.1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-velocity","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-hf43-47q4-fhq5"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["14.10.19"],"introduced":["3.0.1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.xwiki.commons:xwiki-commons-velocity","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.commons/xwiki-commons-velocity","source":"GHSA-hf43-47q4-fhq5"}],"prev":{"headline":"zcap has incomplete expiration checks in capability chains.","id":"CVE-2024-31995"},"products":["xwiki-commons"],"published":"2024-04-10","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":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-02","vendors":["xwiki"]},"summary":"Attackers can achieve remote code execution in XWiki by exploiting missing escaping of curly braces in the Velocity escapetool.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-31996/"}
