CVE-2025-32969: org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rest-server allows SQL injection in query endpoint of REST API

Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 61/100)

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: 80% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 99.6% of all records.
Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action 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-rest-server (Maven) 15.10.16, 16.4.6, 16.10.1.

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Upgrade to org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rest-server (Maven) 15.10.16, 16.4.6, 16.10.1 or later.

XWiki is a generic wiki platform. In versions starting from 1.8 and prior to 15.10.16, 16.4.6, and 16.10.1, it is possible for a remote unauthenticated user to escape from the HQL execution context and perform a blind SQL injection to execute arbitrary SQL statements on the database backend, including when "Prevent unregistered users from viewing pages, regardless of the page rights" and "Prevent unregistered users from editing pages, regardless of the page rights" options are enabled. Depending on the used database backend, the attacker may be able to not only obtain confidential information such as password hashes from the database, but also execute UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE queries. This issue has been patched in versions 16.10.1, 16.4.6 and 15.10.16. There is no known workaround, other than upgrading XWiki.
