Description
Impact
The mail obfuscation configuration was not fully taken into account and while the mail displayed to the end user was obfuscated:
- the rest response was also containing the mail unobfuscated
- user were able to filter and sort on the unobfuscated (allowing to infer the mail content)
The consequence was the possibility to retrieve the email addresses of all users even when obfuscated.
See https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-20333 for the reproduction steps.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-livetable-ui, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-livetable-ui to 14.4.8 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2023-34467 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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.
