How severe is CVE-2022-41932?

CVE-2022-41932 has a CVSS score of 7.5/10, rated HIGH. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2022-41932?

CVE-2022-41932 affects the following packages: org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore (Maven), org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore (Maven), org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2022-41932?

Update org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore to 13.10.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-41932 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2022-41932 in my Maven dependencies?

Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2022-41932 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

Cap what an attacker can consume: apply request size, rate and timeout limits in front of the affected component, and run it with memory and CPU limits so exhaustion degrades one worker rather than the whole service.

Is CVE-2022-41932 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2022-41932 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2022-41932?

CVE-2022-41932 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.6%, placing it in the 47th percentile of all CVEs. EPSS is maintained by FIRST.org and estimates the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited in the wild within the next 30 days. This score indicates relatively lower exploitation probability, though the CVSS severity should still guide your patching priority.

What type of vulnerability is CVE-2022-41932?

Description

Impact

It's possible to make XWiki create many new schemas and fill them with tables just by using a crafted user identifier in the login form.

Patches

The problem has been patched in XWiki 13.10.8, 14.6RC1 and 14.4.2.

Workarounds

The only workarounds for this are:

use an authenticator which does interpret the login as a reference to a document
using a different database than PostgreSQL
upgrade XWiki
