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.

### Impact 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. To reproduce, as a user without script nor programming rights, create a document with title `{{/html}}{{async}}{{groovy}}println("Hello from Groovy Title!"){{/groovy}}{{/async}}` and content `Test Document`. Using the search UI, search for `"Test Document"`, then deploy the `Location` facet on the right of the screen, next to the search results. The installation is vulnerable if you see an item such as: ``` Hello from Groovy Title! </a> <div class="itemCount">1</div> </li> </ul> {{/html}} ``` ### Patches This has been patched in XWiki 14.10.20, 15.5.4 and 15.10 RC1. ### Workarounds Modify the `Main.SolrSpaceFacet` page following this [patch](https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/acba74c149a041345b24dcca52c586f872ba97fb#diff-22dd1949ed9019a39f2550f5a953a1a967c30a374dc9eeddb74069bf229b17d5). ### References * https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-21471 * https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/acba74c149a041345b24dcca52c586f872ba97fb * https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/74e301c481e69eeea674dac7fed6af3614cf08c5
