GHSA-vwr6-qp4q-2wj7

XWiki Platform vulnerable to privilege escalation via async macro and IconThemeSheet from the user profile

Quick fix

GHSA-vwr6-qp4q-2wj7 — org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-icon-ui: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

# pom.xml: bump <version>13.10.10</version> for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-icon-ui

Details

### Impact

One can execute any wiki content with the right of IconThemeSheet author by creating an icon theme with the following content:

``` }}} {{async async="true"}} {{groovy}} println("Hello from Groovy!") {{/groovy}} {{/async}} {{{ ```

Can be done by creating a new page or even through the user profile for users not having edit right.

### Patches

This has been patched in XWiki 14.9, 14.4.6, and 13.10.10.

### Workarounds

An easy workaround is to actually fix the bug in the page `IconThemesCode.IconThemeSheet` by applying the following modification: https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/48caf7491595238af2b531026a614221d5d61f38#diff-2ec9d716673ee049937219cdb0a92e520f81da14ea84d144504b97ab2bdae243R45
