Summary
The XWiki JIRA extension allows data leak through an XXE attack by using a fake JIRA server
Details

Impact

If the JIRA macro is installed, any logged in XWiki user could edit his/her user profile wiki page and use that JIRA macro, specifying a fake JIRA URL that returns an XML specifying a DOCTYPE pointing to a local file on the XWiki server host and displaying that file's content in one of the returned JIRA fields (such as the summary or description for example).

For example:

```

]> ... &xxe; https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XE-307 {RETIRED} XWiki Enterprise &xxe; ... ```

Patches

The vulnerability has been patched in the JIRA Extension v8.6.5.

Workarounds

No easy workaround except to upgrade (which is easy using the XWiki Extension Manager).
