{"id":"CVE-2023-29207","aliases":["GHSA-6vgh-9r3c-2cxp"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2023-29207","summary":"Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags (XSS) in the LiveTable Macro","details":"### Impact\nThe [Livetable Macro](https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Livetable%20Macro) wasn't properly sanitizing column names, thus allowing the insertion of raw HTML code including JavaScript. This vulnerability was also exploitable via the [Documents Macro](https://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Documents%20Macro) that is included since XWiki 3.5M1 and doesn't require script rights, this can be demonstrated with the syntax `{{documents id=\"example\" count=\"5\" actions=\"false\" columns=\"doc.title, before<script>alert(1)</script>after\"/}}`. Therefore, this can also be exploited by users without script right and in comments. With the interaction of a user with more rights, this could be used to execute arbitrary actions in the wiki, including privilege escalation, remote code execution, information disclosure, modifying or deleting content.\n\n### Patches\nThis has been patched in XWiki 14.9, 14.4.6, and 13.10.10.\n\n### Workarounds\nIt is possible to apply the [patch](https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/65ca06c51e7a1d5a579344c7272b2cc9a9a21126) to existing installations without upgrading. Only the files `skins/flamingo/macros.vm` and `templates/macros.vm` in the web application directory need to be replaced by a patched version.\n\n### For more information\nIf you have any questions or comments about this advisory:\n* Open an issue in [Jira XWiki.org](https://jira.xwiki.org/)\n* Email us at [Security Mailing List](mailto:security@xwiki.org)\n","published":"2023-04-15T15:48:05.169Z","modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:09.442384897Z","cvss":{"score":8.9,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L"},"epss":{"score":0.01393,"percentile":0.71044,"asOf":"2026-09-17"},"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":2,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin-resources","fixedVersion":"13.10.10"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin","fixedVersion":"13.10.10"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo","fixedVersion":"13.10.10"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates","fixedVersion":"13.10.10"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web","fixedVersion":"13.10.10"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-web-standard","fixedVersion":"13.10.10"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin-resources","fixedVersion":"14.4.6"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin","fixedVersion":"14.4.6"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo","fixedVersion":"14.4.6"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates","fixedVersion":"14.4.6"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web","fixedVersion":"14.4.6"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-web-standard","fixedVersion":"14.4.6"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin-resources","fixedVersion":"14.9"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin","fixedVersion":"14.9"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-flamingo","fixedVersion":"14.9"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web-templates","fixedVersion":"14.9"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-web","fixedVersion":"14.9"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-web-standard","fixedVersion":"14.9"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/65ca06c51e7a1d5a579344c7272b2cc9a9a21126","label":"xwiki/xwiki-platform@65ca06c"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-15205"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/29xxx/CVE-2023-29207.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/security/advisories/GHSA-6vgh-9r3c-2cxp"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-29207"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/65ca06c51e7a1d5a579344c7272b2cc9a9a21126"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T03:51:09.442384897Z"}}
