Impact

Reflected XSS vulnerabilities in two templates allow an attacker to execute malicious JavaScript code in the context of the victim's session by getting the victim to visit an attacker-controlled URL. PoC URLs are /xwiki/bin/view/Main/?xpage=job_status_json&jobId=asdf&translationPrefix=<img src=1 onerror=alert(document.domain)> and /xwiki/bin/view/Main/?xpage=distribution&extensionId=%3Cimg src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)%3E&extensionVersionConstraint=%3Cimg src=x onerror=alert(document.domain)%3E. This allows the attacker to perform arbitrary actions using the permissions of the victim.

Patches

The problem has been patched in XWiki 16.4.8, 16.10.6 and 17.3.0RC1 by adding escaping in the affected templates.

Workarounds

The affected templates can be patched manually in the WAR by applying the same changes as in the patch.

Attribution
