CVE-2025-66472: XWiki vulnerable to a reflected XSS via xredirect parameter in DeleteApplication

MediumCVSS 6.5 · v4.0—Proof of concept Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 26/100)

  • A ready-made attack module is public (Nuclei); exploiting it takes no special expertise.
  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (Exploit-DB / GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.54% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to CISA the attack is automatable: targets can be found by mass scanning.
  • Fixed version: org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin-resources (Maven) 17.4.2, 16.10.10; org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates (Maven) 17.4.2, 16.10.10.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin-resources (Maven) 17.4.2, 16.10.10; org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates (Maven) 17.4.2, 16.10.10 or later.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. Versions 6.2-milestone-1 through 16.10.9 and 17.0.0-rc-1 through 17.4.1 of both XWiki Platform Flamingo Skin Resources and XWiki Platform Web Templates are vulnerable to a reflected XSS attack through a deletion confirmation message. The attacker-supplied script is executed when the victim clicks the "No" button. This issue is fixed in versions 16.10.10 and 17.4.2 of both XWiki Platform Flamingo Skin Resources and XWiki Platform Web Templates.
