CVE-2023-40573 Information

Description

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. XWiki supports scheduled jobs that contain Groovy scripts. Currently the job checks the content author of the job for programming right. However modifying or adding a job script to a document doesn’t modify the content author. Together with a CSRF vulnerability in the job scheduler this can be exploited for remote code execution by an attacker with edit right on the wiki. If the attack is successful an error log entry with \Job content executed\ will be produced. This vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 14.10.9 and 15.4RC1.
