An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, 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-2025-51990 exists.\n\nAffected product: Xwiki Xwiki. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\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-2025-51990/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-51990/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-51990","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-51990/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-51990","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6jx2-qgxg-f4q9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"XWiki CMS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated administrators can inject persistent JavaScript into global preferences, leading to session hijacking and credential theft for all site visitors.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"xwiki","vendor":"xwiki"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"XWiki through version 17.3.0 is affected by multiple stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Administration interface, specifically under the Presentation section of the Global Preferences panel. An authenticated administrator can inject arbitrary JavaScript payloads into the HTTP Meta Info, Footer Copyright, and Footer Version fields. These inputs are stored and subsequently rendered without proper output encoding or sanitization on public-facing pages. As a result, the injected scripts are persistently executed in the browser context of any visitor to the affected instances including both authenticated and unauthenticated users. No user interaction is required beyond visiting a page that includes the malicious content. Successful exploitation can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, unauthorized actions via session riding, or further compromise of the application through client-side attacks. The vulnerability introduces significant risk in any deployment, especially in shared or internet-facing environments where administrator credentials may be compromised.","ecosystems":[],"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/2025/CVE-2025-51990.yaml","stars":null,"title":"XWiki – Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-51990","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"xwiki:xwiki","products":["xwiki:xwiki"],"type":"xss","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-51991"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-51989"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2025-08-20","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":"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-08-20","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated administrators can inject persistent JavaScript into global preferences, leading to session hijacking and credential theft for all site visitors.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-51990/"}
