Snyk has a proof-of-concept or detailed explanation of how to exploit this vulnerability.
The probability is the direct output of the EPSS model, and conveys an overall sense of the threat of exploitation in the wild. The percentile measures the EPSS probability relative to all known EPSS scores. Note: This data is updated daily, relying on the latest available EPSS model version. Check out the EPSS documentation for more details.
In a few clicks we can analyze your entire application and see what components are vulnerable in your application, and suggest you quick fixes.
Test your applicationsUpgrade org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-theme-ui
to version 13.10.11, 14.4.7, 14.10 or higher.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Eval Injection such that any user with the right to add an object on a page can execute arbitrary Groovy, Python or Velocity code in XWiki leading to full access to the XWiki installation. The root cause is improper escaping of the styles properties FlamingoThemesCode.WebHome
. This page is installed by default.
As a user without script or programming rights, edit your user profile with the object editor (enable advanced mode if necessary to get access) and add an object of type Theme Class
of FlamingoThemesCode
. In the field body-bg
(all other fields should work, too) add the following text:
{{/html}} {{async async="true" cached="false" context="doc.reference"}}{{groovy}}println("Hello " + "from groovy!"){{/groovy}}{{/async}}
Click "Save & View"
Open <xwiki-host>/xwiki/bin/view/FlamingoThemesCode/WebHomeSheet
where <xwiki-host>
is the URL of your XWiki installation
Expected result:
The list of color themes either doesn't include the user's profile or displays a regular preview.
Actual result:
The user's profile is listed as color theme but instead of the little preview the message
Failed to execute the [html] macro. Cause: [When using HTML content inline, you can only use inline HTML content. Block HTML content (such as tables) cannot be displayed. Try leaving an empty line before and after the macro.]. Click on this message for details.

is displayed. This shows that a Groovy macro with content created by the user has been executed and thus demonstrates a privilege escalation from simple user account to programming rights.
