xwiki · xwiki-platform
The XWiki Platform (xwiki-platform) has an improper authorization flaw in its Solr-based search suggestion provider, which also serves as a generic JavaScript API for search results. An attacker with network access and no authentication or user interaction can request fields from Solr that bypass the document right check, exposing the content of all documents across all wikis; this applies by default because the service is public, though password hashes and similar protected data are not exposed.
XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. Starting in version 6.3-milestone-2 and prior to versions 14.10.15, 15.5.1, and 15.6RC1, the Solr-based search suggestion provider that also duplicates as generic JavaScript API for search results in XWiki exposes the content of all documents of all wikis to anybody who has access to it, by default it is public. This exposes all information stored in the wiki (but not some protected information like password hashes). While there is a right check normally, the right check can be circumvented by explicitly requesting fields from Solr that don't include the data for the right check. This has been fixed in XWiki 15.6RC1, 15.5.1 and 14.10.15 by not listing documents whose rights cannot be checked. No known workarounds are available.
