{"id":"CVE-2023-36469","published":"2023-06-29T20:38:52Z","modified":"2024-11-26T19:14:16Z","title":"Code injection through NotificationRSSService in XWiki Platform","vendor":"xwiki","product":"xwiki-platform","tier":"core","eol":null,"affectedVersions":[{"vendor":"xwiki","product":"xwiki-platform","versions":[">= 9.6-rc-1, < 14.10.6",">= 15.0-rc-1, < 15.2-rc-1"]}],"description":{"text":"XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. Any user who can edit their own user profile and notification settings can execute arbitrary script macros including Groovy and Python macros that allow remote code execution including unrestricted read and write access to all wiki contents. This has been patched in XWiki 14.10.6 and 15.2RC1. Users are advised to update. As a workaround the main security fix can be manually applied by patching the affected document `XWiki.Notifications.Code.NotificationRSSService`. This will break the link to the differences, though as this requires additional changes to Velocity templates as shown in the patch. While the default template is available in the instance and can be easily patched, the template for mentions is contained in a `.jar`-file and thus cannot be fixed without replacing that jar.","provenance":"source","from":"CVE.org"},"summary":{"text":"A code injection flaw in the NotificationRSSService component of XWiki Platform (xwiki-platform) allows script macros, including Groovy and Python macros, to be executed through the user profile and notification settings. An attacker needs only low-privilege authenticated access, specifically the ability to edit their own user profile and notification settings, with no user interaction required, and can then achieve remote code execution with unrestricted read and write access to all wiki contents.","provenance":"ai","model":"claude-haiku-5-5","generatedAt":"2026-10-29T07:14:13Z"},"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"CRITICAL","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","provenance":"source","from":"CVE.org
