XWiki User Registration Remote Code Execution

critical Web App Scanning Plugin ID 114913

Synopsis

XWiki User Registration Remote Code Execution

Description

XWiki Platform versions from 2.2 before 14.10.17, from 15.0-rc-1 before 15.5.3, and from 15.6-rc-1 before 15.8-rc-1 suffer from a Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) due to the lack of sanitization of the user registration form's inputs. By leveraging this vulnerability, a remote and unauthenticated attacker can achieve privilege escalation and achieve code execution on the vulnerable XWiki instance.

Solution

Upgrade XWiki to version 14.10.17, 15.5.3, 15.8-rc-1 or later.
