Overview

org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Missing Authorization via the xwiki.invokeServletAndReturnAsString() function that takes the path to any file located in XWiki WAR as an argument (i.e "/WEB-INF/xwiki.cfg") by a user with SCRIPT (EDIT before version 7.4) permission.

Workaround

Limit SCRIPT permissions.
