{"id":"CVE-2024-37899","aliases":["GHSA-j584-j2vj-3f93"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2024-37899","summary":"Disabling a user account changes its author, allowing RCE from user account in XWiki","details":"XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform offering runtime services for applications built on top of it. When an admin disables a user account, the user's profile is executed with the admin's rights. This allows a user to place malicious code in the user profile before getting an admin to disable the user account. To reproduce, as a user without script nor programming rights, edit the about section of your user profile and add `{{groovy}}services.logging.getLogger(\"attacker\").error(\"Hello from Groovy!\"){{/groovy}}`.\nAs an admin, go to the user profile and click the \"Disable this account\" button. Then, reload the page. If the logs show `attacker - Hello from Groovy!` then the instance is vulnerable. This has been patched in XWiki 14.10.21, 15.5.5, 15.10.6 and 16.0.0. Users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.\n\n### Workarounds\nWe're not aware of any workaround except upgrading.\n\n### References\n* https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-21611\n* https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/f89c8f47fad6e5cc7e68c69a7e0acde07f5eed5a\n","published":"2024-06-20T22:13:59.450Z","modified":"2026-08-08T08:10:24.845053Z","cvss":{"score":9,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore","fixedVersion":"14.10.21"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore","fixedVersion":"14.10.21"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore","fixedVersion":"15.5.5"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore","fixedVersion":"15.10.6"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-oldcore","fixedVersion":"16.0.0"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/f89c8f47fad6e5cc7e68c69a7e0acde07f5eed5a","label":"xwiki/xwiki-platform@f89c8f4"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-21611"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/37xxx/CVE-2024-37899.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/security/advisories/GHSA-j584-j2vj-3f93"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-37899"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/f89c8f47fad6e5cc7e68c69a7e0acde07f5eed5a"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-08T08:10:24.845053Z"}}
