How to fix?

Upgrade org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rendering-macro-include to version 15.0-rc-1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Authorization due to insufficient checks when the content of a document is included using {{include reference="targetdocument"/}}. This means that any user able to modify the target document can impersonate the author of the content which used the include macro.

Workaround

Make sure to protect any included document to make sure only allowed users can modify it.
