• Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-panels-ui: >= 6.3-milestone-2, < 13.10.11 → fixed in 13.10.11 • Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-panels-ui: >= 14.0, < 14.4.7 → fixed in 14.4.7 • Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-panels-ui: >= 14.5, < 14.10-rc-1 → fixed in 14.10-rc-1

Impact Any user with view rights can execute arbitrary Groovy, Python or Velocity code in XWiki leading to full access to the XWiki installation. The root cause is improper escaping of UIX parameters A proof of concept exploit is to log in, add an `XWiki.UIExtensionClass` xobject to the user profile page, with an Extension Parameters content of: ``` order=100 label={{/html}} {{async async="true" cached="false" context="doc.reference"}}{{groovy}}println("Hello " + "from groovy!"){{/groovy}}{{/async}} icon=icon:pencil target=XWiki.username ``` Then, navigating to `PanelsCode.ApplicationsPanelConfigurationSheet` (i.e., `/xwiki/bin/view/PanelsCode/ApplicationsPanelConfigurationSheet` where `` is the URL of your XWiki installation) should not execute the Groovy script. If it does, you will see `Hello from groovy!` displayed on the screen. Patches The vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 13.10.11, 14.4.7 and 14.10-rc-1 Workarounds The issue can be fixed by editing the `PanelsCode.ApplicationsPanelConfigurationSheet` wiki page and making the same modifications as shown in the patch for this issue.
