XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. Any user with edit rights on any document (e.g., their own user profile) can execute code with programming rights, leading to remote code execution. This vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 13.10.11, 14.4.8, 14.10.1 and 15.0 RC1. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Weakness

The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
