Summary
XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. In `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web` versions 7.2-milestone-2 until 14.10.12 and `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates` prior to versions 14.10.12 and 15.5-rc-1, it is possible to pass a title to the page creation action that isn't displayed at first but then executed in the second step. This can be used by an attacker to trick a victim to execute code, allowing script execution if the victim has script right or remote code execution including full access to the XWiki instance if the victim has programming right. For the attack to work, the attacker needs to convince the victim to visit a link like `<xwiki-host>/xwiki/bin/create/NonExistingSpace/WebHome?title=$services.logging.getLogger(%22foo%22).error(%22Script%20executed!%22)` where `<xwiki-host>` is the URL of the Wiki installation and to then click on the "Create" button on that page. The page looks like a regular XWiki page that the victim would also see when clicking the button to create a page that doesn't exist yet, the malicious code is not displayed anywhere on that page. After clicking the "Create" button, the malicious title would be displayed but at this point, the code has already been executed and the attacker could use this code also to hide the attack, e.g., by redirecting the victim again to the same page with an innocent title. It thus seems plausible that this attack could work if the attacker can place a fake "create page" button on a page which is possible with edit right. This has been patched in `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web` version 14.10.12 and `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates` versions 14.10.12 and 15.5-rc-1 by displaying the title already in the first step such that the victim can notice the attack before continuing. It is possible to manually patch the modified files from the patch in an existing installation. For the JavaScript change, the minified JavaScript file would need to be obtained from a build of XWiki and replaced accordingly.

En `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web` versiones 7.2-milestone-2 hasta 14.10.12 y `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates` anteriores a las versiones 14.10.12 y 15.5-rc -1, es posible pasar un título a la acción de creación de página que no se muestra al principio pero que luego se ejecuta en el segundo paso. Un atacante puede utilizar esto para engañar a una víctima para que ejecute código, permitiendo la ejecución de scripts si la víctima tiene derechos de ejecución de scripts o de código remoto, incluido el acceso completo a la instancia de XWiki si la víctima tiene derechos de programación. Para que el ataque funcione, el atacante debe convencer a la víctima de que visite un enlace como `/xwiki/bin/create/NonExistingSpace/WebHome?title=$services.logging.getLogger(%22foo%22).error(%22Script%20executed!%22)` donde `` es la URL de la instalación Wiki y luego haga clic en el botón \\\"Crear\\\" en esa página. La página parece una página XWiki normal que la víctima también vería al hacer clic en el botón para crear una página que aún no existe; el código malicioso no se muestra en ninguna parte de esa página. Después de hacer clic en el botón \\\"Crear\\\", se mostrará el título malicioso, pero en este punto el código ya se ha ejecutado y el atacante podría utilizar este código también para ocultar el ataque, por ejemplo, redirigiendo a la víctima nuevamente a la misma página con Un título inocente. Por lo tanto, parece plausible que este ataque pueda funcionar si el atacante puede colocar un botón falso de \\\"crear página\\\" en una página que sea posible con derecho de edición. Esto se ha parcheado en `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web` versión 14.10.12 y `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates` versiones 14.10.12 y 15.5-rc-1 mostrando el título ya en el primer paso para que la víctima pueda notar el ataque antes de continuar. Es posible parchear manualmente los archivos modificados desde el parche en una instalación existente.

In `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web` versions 7.2-milestone-2 until 14.10.12 and `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates` prior to versions 14.10.12 and 15.5-rc-1, it is possible to pass a title to the page creation action that isn't displayed at first but then executed in the second step. This can be used by an attacker to trick a victim to execute code, allowing script execution if the victim has script right or remote code execution including full access to the XWiki instance if the victim has programming right.\\n\\nFor the attack to work, the attacker needs to convince the victim to visit a link like `<xwiki-host>/xwiki/bin/create/NonExistingSpace/WebHome?title=$services.logging.getLogger(%22foo%22).error(%22Script%20executed!%22)` where `<xwiki-host>`  is the URL of the Wiki installation and to then click on the \\\"Create\\\" button on that page. The page looks like a regular XWiki page that the victim would also see when clicking the button to create a page that doesn't exist yet, the malicious code is not displayed anywhere on that page. After clicking the \\\"Create\\\" button, the malicious title would be displayed but at this point, the code has already been executed and the attacker could use this code also to hide the attack, e.g., by redirecting the victim again to the same page with an innocent title. It thus seems plausible that this attack could work if the attacker can place a fake \\\"create page\\\" button on a page which is possible with edit right.\\n\\nThis has been patched in `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web` version 14.10.12 and `org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates` versions 14.10.12 and 15.5-rc-1 by displaying the title already in the first step such that the victim can notice the attack before continuing. It is possible to manually patch the modified files from the patch in an existing installation. For the JavaScript change, the minified JavaScript file would need to be obtained from a build of XWiki and replaced accordingly.\"}], \"problemTypes\": [{\"descriptions\": [{\"lang\": \"en\", \"type\": \"CWE\", \"cweId\": \"CWE-116\", \"description\": \"CWE-116: Improper Encoding or Escaping of Output\"}]}], \"providerMetadata\": {\"orgId\": \"a0819718-46f1-4df5-94e2-005712e83aaa\", \"shortName\": \"GitHub_M\", \"dateUpdated\": \"2023-10-25T19:29:04.882Z\"}}}",
