Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-53836 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.xwiki.rendering:xwiki-rendering-transformation-macro (Maven): affected from 14.0; fixed in 14.4.7\n- org.xwiki.rendering:xwiki-rendering-transformation-macro (Maven): affected from 14.0; fixed in 14.4.7\n- org.xwiki.rendering:xwiki-rendering-transformation-macro (Maven): affected from 14.5; fixed in 14.10\n- org.xwiki.rendering:xwiki-rendering-transformation-macro (Maven): affected from 14.5; fixed in 14.10\n- org.xwiki.rendering:xwiki-rendering-transformation-macro (Maven): affected from 4.2-milestone-1; fixed in 13.10.11\n- org.xwiki.rendering:xwiki-rendering-transformation-macro (Maven): affected from 4.2-milestone-1; fixed in 13.10.11\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-2025-53836/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53836/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-53836","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-53836/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-53836","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-32mf-57h2-64x9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"XWiki rendering system","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via nested macros in XWiki rendering, bypassing restricted mode restrictions.","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:L/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-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"XWiki Rendering is a generic rendering system that converts textual input in a given syntax (wiki syntax, HTML, etc) into another syntax (XHTML, etc). Starting in version 4.2-milestone-1 and prior to versions 13.10.11, 14.4.7, and 14.10, the default macro content parser doesn't preserve the restricted attribute of the transformation context when executing nested macros. This allows executing macros that are normally forbidden in restricted mode, in particular script macros. The cache and chart macros that are bundled in XWiki use the vulnerable feature. This has been patched in XWiki 13.10.11, 14.4.7 and 14.10. To avoid the exploitation of this bug, comments can be disabled for untrusted users until an upgrade to a patched version has been performed.
