GHSA-j584-j2vj-3f93
XWiki Platform allows remote code execution from user account
Quick fix
GHSA-j584-j2vj-3f93 — org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
# pom.xml: bump <version>14.10.21</version> for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcoreDetails
### Impact When an admin disables a user account, the user's profile is executed with the admin's rights. This allows a user to place malicious code in the user profile before getting an admin to disable the user account.
To reproduce, as a user without script nor programming rights, edit the about section of your user profile and add `{{groovy}}services.logging.getLogger("attacker").error("Hello from Groovy!"){{/groovy}}`. As an admin, go to the user profile and click the "Disable this account" button. Then, reload the page. If the logs show `attacker - Hello from Groovy!` then the instance is vulnerable.
### Patches This has been patched in XWiki 14.10.21, 15.5.5, 15.10.6 and 16.0.0.
### Workarounds We're not aware of any workaround except upgrading.
