GHSA-wh34-m772-5398 XWiki Platform has an SQL injection in getdocuments.vm with sort parameter

• Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-distribution-war: >= 6.3-milestone-2, < 13.10.5 → fixed in 13.10.5 • Maven org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-distribution-war: >= 14.0-rc-1, < 14.3-rc-1 → fixed in 14.3-rc-1

Impact In `getdocument.vm` ; the ordering of the returned documents is defined from an unsanitized request parameter (request.sort) and can allow any user to inject HQL. Depending on the used database backend, the attacker may be able to not only obtain confidential information such as password hashes from the database, but also execute UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE queries. It's possible to employ database backend dependent techniques of breaking out of HQL query context, described, for example, here: https://www.sonarsource.com/blog/exploiting-hibernate-injections. Patches This has been patched in 13.10.5 and 14.3-rc-1. Workarounds There is no known workaround, other than upgrading XWiki.
