How to fix?

Upgrade org.xwiki.rendering:xwiki-rendering-xml to version 14.10.2 or higher.

Overview

org.xwiki.rendering:xwiki-rendering-xml is a library for the XWiki Rendering Engine

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Eval Injection via the printRaw method in XHTMLWikiPrinter in xwiki-rendering-xml. An attacker can execute arbitrary script macros, including Groovy or Python, by supplying raw rendered content that closes the surrounding {{html}} macro and injects new wiki syntax. This lets a user with edit rights on a document or profile run code with programming rights, leading to remote code execution and unrestricted read/write access to wiki contents. On affected deployments, opening the crafted content as rendered output can expose or corrupt any data the server account can access.
