XWiki < 14.10.14 - Cross-Site Scripting

ID: CVE-2023-45136

Severity: medium

Author: ritikchaddha

Tags: cve,cve2024,xwiki,xss

Description

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. When document names are validated according to a name strategy (disabled by default), XWiki starting in version 12.0-rc-1 and prior to versions 12.10.12 and 15.5-rc-1 is vulnerable to a reflected cross-site scripting attack in the page creation form. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary actions with the rights of the user opening the malicious link.
