An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-55879 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-administration-ui (Maven): affected from 16.0.0-rc-1; fixed in 16.3.0\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-administration-ui (Maven): affected from 16.0.0-rc-1; fixed in 16.3.0\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-administration-ui (Maven): affected from 2.3; fixed in 15.10.9\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-administration-ui (Maven): affected from 2.3; fixed in 15.10.9\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-2024-55879/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-55879/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-55879","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-55879/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-55879","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r279-47wg-chpr"],"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":"high_privilege","summary":"Users with script rights can execute arbitrary code via configurable sections, compromising the entire XWiki installation.","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":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform.
