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 offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. XWiki Platform Legacy Old Core and XWiki Platform Old Core versions 1.1 through 16.4.6, 16.5.0-rc-1 through 16.10.4 and 17.0.0-rc-1 through 17.1.0, the XML export of a page in XWiki that can be triggered by any user with view rights on a page by appending ?xpage=xml to the URL includes password and email properties stored on a document that aren't named password or email. This is fixed in versions 16.4.7, 16.10.5 and 17.2.0-rc-1. To work around this issue, the file templates/xml.vm in the deployed WAR can be deleted if the XML isn't needed. There isn't any feature in XWiki itself that depends on the XML export.

Recommended fix High confidence

Upgrade to 16.4.7, 16.10.5, or 17.2.0-rc-1 (depending on your current major version branch)

  1. 1. Backup the current XWiki installation and database before upgrading
  2. 2. Upgrade XWiki to version 16.4.7, 16.10.5, or 17.2.0-rc-1 (choose based on your current major version)
  3. 3. Redeploy and restart the XWiki application
  4. 4. Verify the XML export functionality works correctly after upgrade
  5. 5. Alternatively, if upgrade is not immediately possible, delete the file templates/xml.vm from the deployed WAR as a temporary workaround
Caveat Minor/major version upgrades may introduce breaking changes; test in staging first; 17.2.0-rc-1 is a release candidate
