Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-53966 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-livedata-livetable (Maven): affected from 13.4-rc-1; fixed in 16.10.17\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-livedata-livetable (Maven): affected from 13.4-rc-1; fixed in 16.10.17\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-livedata-livetable (Maven): affected from 17.0.0-rc-1; fixed in 17.4.10\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-livedata-livetable (Maven): affected from 17.0.0-rc-1; fixed in 17.4.10\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-livedata-livetable (Maven): affected from 17.5.0-rc-1; fixed in 17.10.4\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-livedata-livetable (Maven): affected from 17.5.0-rc-1; fixed in 17.10.4\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-livedata-livetable (Maven): affected from 18.0.0-rc-1; fixed in 18.1.0-rc-1\n- org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-livedata-livetable (Maven): affected from 18.0.0-rc-1; fixed in 18.1.0-rc-1\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-2026-53966/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53966/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-53966","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-53966/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-53966","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-45ph-gxxr-gwgw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"XWiki Platform","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers with edit rights can escalate privileges to script rights via Live Data API, enabling code execution and bypassing security controls.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. From 13.4-rc-1 until 16.10.17, 17.4.10, 17.10.4, and 18.1.0-rc-1, the Live Data edit REST API allows a user who can edit a page to change that page's rights without executing the normal document-saving authorization checks. The user can grant script right and then execute potentially dangerous Velocity scripts or send unfiltered HTML and JavaScript to clients. The same missing checks can circumvent extension security controls implemented as listeners for UserUpdatingDocumentEvent and related user document events.
