How do I fix CVE-2022-41936?

Update org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-rest-server to 13.10.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2022-41936 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2022-41936 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-rest-server, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2022-41936 if there is no patch (or I can't update yet)?

If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.

Is CVE-2022-41936 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2022-41936 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.

Description

Impact

The modifications rest endpoint does not filter out entries according to the user's rights. Therefore, information hidden from unauthorized users are exposed though the modifications rest endpoint (e.g., comments, page names...).

Patches

Users should upgrade to XWiki 14.6+, 14.4.3+, or13.10.8+. Older versions have not been patched.

Workarounds

No known workaround.
