Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in XWiki xwiki-platform-localization-script (Content Management System). It has been declared as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is some unknown processing of the component Translation Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a eval injection vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-95. The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes code syntax before using the input in a dynamic evaluation call (e.g. "eval"). As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. In XWiki, every user can add translations that are only applied to the current user. This also allows overriding existing translations. Such translations are often included in privileged contexts without any escaping which allows remote code execution for any user who has edit access on at least one document which could be the user's own profile where edit access is enabled by default. A mitigation for this vulnerability is part of XWiki 14.10.2 and XWiki 15.0 RC1: translations with user scope now require script right. This means that regular users cannot exploit this anymore as users don't have script right by default anymore starting with XWiki 14.10. There are no known workarounds apart from upgrading to a patched versions.
