CVE-2022-24821: Incorrect Use of Privileged APIs in org.xwiki.platform.skin.skinx

HighCVSS 8.1 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 32/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.80% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 57.1% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-skin-skinx (Maven) 13.4.6, 13.10, 12.10.11.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-skin-skinx (Maven) 13.4.6, 13.10, 12.10.11 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. Simple users can create global SSX/JSX without specific rights: in theory only users with Programming Rights should be allowed to create SSX or JSX that are executed everywhere on a wiki. But a bug allow anyone with edit rights to actually create those. This issue has been patched in XWiki 13.10-rc-1, 12.10.11 and 13.4.6. There's no easy workaround for this issue, administrators should upgrade their wiki.
