{"id":"GHSA-j584-j2vj-3f93","summary":"XWiki Platform allows remote code execution from user account","details":"### Impact\nWhen an admin disables a user account, the user's profile is executed with the admin's rights. This allows a user to place malicious code in the user profile before getting an admin to disable the user account.\n\nTo reproduce, as a user without script nor programming rights, edit the about section of your user profile and add `{{groovy}}services.logging.getLogger(\"attacker\").error(\"Hello from Groovy!\"){{/groovy}}`.\nAs an admin, go to the user profile and click the \"Disable this account\" button.\nThen, reload the page. If the logs show `attacker - Hello from Groovy!` then the instance is vulnerable.\n\n### Patches\nThis has been patched in XWiki 14.10.21, 15.5.5, 15.10.6 and 16.0.0.\n\n### Workarounds\nWe're not aware of any workaround except upgrading.\n\n### References\n* https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-21611\n* https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/f89c8f47fad6e5cc7e68c69a7e0acde07f5eed5a","aliases":["CVE-2024-37899"],"modified":"2026-09-10T03:50:15.642870764Z","published":"2024-06-20T16:19:14Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-266","CWE-94"],"severity":"CRITICAL","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2024-06-20T16:19:14Z","nvd_published_at":"2024-06-20T23:15:52Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/security/advisories/GHSA-j584-j2vj-3f93"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-37899"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/046c36519a2df392c922c16d0d38472b98c414d0"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/233b08b26580df4b7a595882dac65ed4e4a2419c"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/2b55c29562ccd20f8f0f85075f0c95b4ee9cd9be"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/f8409419c5d0ddefe1bee55e73629a54275fa735"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/f89c8f47fad6e5cc7e68c69a7e0acde07f5eed5a"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-21611"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore","ecosystem":"Maven","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.platform/xwiki-platform-oldcore"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"13.4.7"},{"fixed":"14.10.21"}]}],"database_specific":{"last_known_affected_version_range":"\u003c 13.5","source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/06/GHSA-j584-j2vj-3f93/GHSA-j584-j2vj-3f93.json"}},{"package":{"name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore","ecosystem":"Maven","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.platform/xwiki-platform-oldcore"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"13.10.3"},{"fixed":"14.10.21"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/06/GHSA-j584-j2vj-3f93/GHSA-j584-j2vj-3f93.json"}},{"package":{"name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore","ecosystem":"Maven","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.platform/xwiki-platform-oldcore"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"15.0-rc-1"},{"fixed":"15.5.5"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/06/GHSA-j584-j2vj-3f93/GHSA-j584-j2vj-3f93.json"}},{"package":{"name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore","ecosystem":"Maven","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.platform/xwiki-platform-oldcore"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"15.6-rc-1"},{"fixed":"15.10.6"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/06/GHSA-j584-j2vj-3f93/GHSA-j584-j2vj-3f93.json"}},{"package":{"name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore","ecosystem":"Maven","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.platform/xwiki-platform-oldcore"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"16.0.0-rc-1"},{"fixed":"16.0.0"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/06/GHSA-j584-j2vj-3f93/GHSA-j584-j2vj-3f93.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
