How to fix?

Upgrade org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-ui to version 14.10.20, 15.5.4, 15.10-rc-1 or higher.

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 Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection') due to the improper handling of user input in the SearchSuggestSourceSheet. An attacker can execute arbitrary code on the server by adding a specially crafted object of type XWiki.SearchSuggestSourceClass to a user profile or any other editable page. This is only exploitable if the attacker has edit rights on any page.
