Impact Users are able to forge an URL with a payload allowing to inject Javascript in the page (XSS). It's possible to exploit the deletespace template to perform a XSS, e.g. by using URL such as: > xwiki/bin/deletespace/Sandbox/?xredirect=javascript:alert(document.domain) This vulnerability exists since XWiki 3.4-milestone-1. Patches The vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 14.10.5 and 15.1-rc-1. Workarounds It's possible to workaround the vulnerability by editing the template deletespace.vm to perform checks on it, but note that the appropriate fix involves new APIs that have been recently introduced in XWiki.
