Overview
org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-ui is a Platform Search UI which allows searching on the full wiki using wildcards, searching by space, getting search result RSS feeds and more. By default provides a Database-backed search but allows pluging other engines (such as Lucene, Solr and more)
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code ('Eval Injection') due to improper escaping of the id and label of search user interface extensions. An attacker can execute arbitrary code by injecting XWiki syntax containing script macros, including Groovy macros, which can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the entire XWiki instance. This attack can be executed by any user who can edit a wiki page, such as a user's profile, which is editable by default.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by manually applying a patch to the page XWiki.SearchAdmin.
