SCA: security update for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-diff-xml (GHSA-7rfg-6273-f5wp)
high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 412241
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:- XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. The rendered diff in XWiki embeds images to be able to compare
the contents and not display a difference for an actually unchanged image. For this, XWiki requests all
embedded images on the server side. These requests are also sent for images from other domains and include
all cookies that were sent in the original request to ensure that images with restricted view right can be
compared. Starting in version 11.10.1 and prior to versions 14.10.15, 15.5.1, and 15.6, this allows an
attacker to steal login and session cookies that allow impersonating the current user who views the diff.
The attack can be triggered with an image that references the rendered diff, thus making it easy to
trigger. Apart from stealing login cookies, this also allows server-side request forgery (the result of
any successful request is returned in the image's source) and viewing protected content as once a resource
is cached, it is returned for all users. As only successful requests are cached, the cache will be filled
by the first user who is allowed to access the resource. This has been patched in XWiki 14.10.15, 15.5.1
and 15.6. The rendered diff now only downloads images from trusted domains. Further, cookies are only sent
when the image's domain is the same the requested domain. The cache has been changed to be specific for
each user. As a workaround, the image embedding feature can be disabled by deleting `xwiki-platform-diff-
xml-<version>.jar` in `WEB-INF/lib/`. (CVE-2023-48240)
