NewCVE-2025-24893 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-ui to version 15.10.11, 16.4.1 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Eval Injection via the SolrSearch process. An attacker can execute arbitrary code on the server by sending a crafted request to the vulnerable endpoint.
Workaround
This vulnerability can be mitigated by editing Main.SolrSearchMacros in SolrSearchMacros.xml here to match the rawResponse macro in macros.vm#L2824 with a content type of application/xml, instead of simply outputting the content of the feed.
PoC
Without being logged in, go to
<host>/xwiki/bin/get/Main/SolrSearch?media=rss&text=%7D%7D%7D%7B%7Basync%20async%3Dfalse%7D%7D%7B%7Bgroovy%7D%7Dprintln%28"Hello%20from"%20%2B%20"%20search%20text%3A"%20%2B%20%2823%20%2B%2019%29%29%7B%7B%2Fgroovy%7D%7D%7B%7B%2Fasync%7D%7D%20
If there is an output, and the title of the RSS feed contains Hello from search text:42, then the instance is vulnerable.
