Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. Starting in version 7.2-rc-1 and prior to versions 4.10.20, 15.5.4, and 15.10-rc-1, by creating a document with a specially crafted title, it is possible to trigger remote code execution in the (Solr-based) search in XWiki. This allows any user who can edit the title of a space (all users by default) to execute any Groovy code in the XWiki installation which compromises the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation. This has been patched in XWiki 14.10.20, 15.5.4 and 15.10 RC1. As a workaround, manually apply the patch to the `Main.SolrSpaceFacet` page.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

Recommended fix High confidence

XWiki 14.10.20, 15.5.4, or 15.10+ (depending on your current major version branch)

  1. Identify your current XWiki version from the affected versions list (7.2, >= 7.3 to < 14.10.20, >= 15.0 to < 15.5.4, or >= 15.6 to < 15.10)
  2. Backup your XWiki database and configuration files
  3. Stop the XWiki application
  4. Upgrade to one of the fixed releases: XWiki 14.10.20, 15.5.4, or 15.10 (or later within your major version line)
  5. Follow the standard XWiki upgrade documentation for your deployment method
  6. Start the XWiki application and verify functionality
  7. As an alternative workaround (if immediate upgrade is not possible), manually apply the patch from commit 43c9d551e3c11e9d8f176b556dd33bbe31fc66e0 to the Main.SolrSpaceFacet page in your wiki
Caveat Review XWiki release notes for your target version to check for any breaking changes between your current and target version; minor version upgrades within the same major line typically have minimal breaking changes
