{"id":"GHSA-rmxw-c48h-2vf5","summary":"XWiki Platform privilege escalation from script right to programming right through title displayer","details":"### Impact\n\nIn XWiki Platform, it's possible for a user to write a script in which any velocity content is executed with the right of any other document content author.\n\nTo reproduce:\n\nAs a user with script but not programming right, create a document with the following content:\n\n```\n{{velocity}}\n#set($main = $xwiki.getDocument('AppWithinMinutes.DynamicMessageTool'))\n$main.setTitle('$doc.getDocument().getContentAuthor()')\n$main.getPlainTitle()\n{{/velocity}}\n```\n\nSince this API require programming right and the user does not have it, the expected result is `$doc.document.authors.contentAuthor` (not executed script), unfortunately with the security vulnerability we get `XWiki.superadmin` which shows that the title was executed with the right of the unmodified document.\n\n### Patches\n\nThis has been patched in XWiki 14.10.7 and 15.2-RC-1.\n\n### Workarounds\n\nThere are no known workarounds for it.\n\n### References\n\n* https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20624\n* https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/11a9170dfe63e59f4066db67f84dbfce4ed619c6\n* https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20625\n* https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/41d7dca2d30084966ca6a7ee537f39ee8354a7e3\n\n### For more information\n\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n* Open an issue in [Jira XWiki.org](https://jira.xwiki.org/)\n* Email us at [Security Mailing List](mailto:security@xwiki.org)","aliases":["CVE-2023-46244"],"modified":"2026-09-10T03:49:59.210511400Z","published":"2023-11-07T23:03:57Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-863"],"severity":"CRITICAL","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2023-11-07T23:03:57Z","nvd_published_at":"2023-11-07T19:15:10Z"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/security/advisories/GHSA-rmxw-c48h-2vf5"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-46244"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/11a9170dfe63e59f4066db67f84dbfce4ed619c6"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/41d7dca2d30084966ca6a7ee537f39ee8354a7e3"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20624"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20625"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-display-api","ecosystem":"Maven","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.platform/xwiki-platform-display-api"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"3.2-milestone-3"},{"fixed":"14.10.7"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2023/11/GHSA-rmxw-c48h-2vf5/GHSA-rmxw-c48h-2vf5.json"}},{"package":{"name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-display-api","ecosystem":"Maven","purl":"pkg:maven/org.xwiki.platform/xwiki-platform-display-api"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"15.0"},{"fixed":"15.2-rc-1"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2023/11/GHSA-rmxw-c48h-2vf5/GHSA-rmxw-c48h-2vf5.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
