Which packages are affected by CVE-2024-31986?

CVE-2024-31986 affects the following packages: org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-scheduler-ui (Maven), org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-scheduler-ui (Maven), org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-scheduler-ui (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2024-31986?

Update org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-scheduler-ui to 14.10.19 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-31986 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2024-31986 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-scheduler-ui. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.

How do I mitigate CVE-2024-31986 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.

How does O3 Security protect against CVE-2024-31986?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2024-31986 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.

Is CVE-2024-31986 actively exploited in the wild?

Yes. There are 1 known exploit references for CVE-2024-31986, including 1 in-the-wild exploitation observed on GitHub and other sources. Treat this as actively exploitable and prioritize patching immediately. All exploit code should only be run in an isolated sandbox environment for research or authorized testing — never against production systems without explicit written authorization.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2024-31986?

CVE-2024-31986 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.5%, placing it in the 42th 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-2024-31986?

CVE-2024-31986 is classified as CWE-95 (CWE-95), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) (CWE-352). These weakness types describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2024-31986 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2024-31986 was published on April 10, 2024 and was last updated on April 10, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Description

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. Starting in version 3.1 and prior to versions 4.10.19, 15.5.4, and 15.10-rc-1, by creating a document with a special crafted documented reference and an XWiki.SchedulerJobClass XObject, it is possible to execute arbitrary code on the server whenever an admin visits the scheduler page or the scheduler page is referenced, e.g., via an image in a comment on a page in the wiki. The vulnerability has been fixed in XWiki 14.10.19, 15.5.5, and 15.9. As a workaround, apply the patch manually by modifying the Scheduler.WebHome page.
