{{mention reference="XWiki.Translation" anchor="{{/html~}~}{{async async=~"true~" cached=~"false~" context=~"doc.reference~"~}~}{{groovy~}~}new File(~"/tmp/exploit.txt~").withWriter { out -> out.println(~"owned!~"); }{{/groovy~}~}{{/async~}~}"/}}
Patches
This issue has been patched on XWiki 14.4 and 13.10.6.
Workarounds
It's possible to fix the vulnerability by updating XWiki.Mentions.MentionsMacro and edit the Macro code field of the XWiki.WikiMacroClass XObject.
velocity
<a id="$anchor" class="$stringtool.join($cssClasses, ' ')" data-reference="$services.model.serialize($reference.reference, 'default')" href="$link">$content</a>
Must be replaced by
velocity
<a id="$escapetool.xml($anchor)" class="$stringtool.join($cssClasses, ' ')" data-reference="$escapetool.xml($services.model.serialize($reference.reference, 'default'))" href="$escapetool.xml($link)">
$escapetool.xml($content)
</a>
