{"id":"CVE-2024-37901","aliases":["GHSA-h63h-5c77-77p5"],"url":"https://o3.security/vulnerability/CVE-2024-37901","summary":"XWiki Platform vulnerable to remote code execution from account via SearchSuggestConfigSheet","details":"### Impact\nAny user with edit right on any page can perform arbitrary remote code execution by adding instances of `XWiki.SearchSuggestConfig` and `XWiki.SearchSuggestSourceClass` to their user profile or any other page. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the whole XWiki installation.\n\nTo reproduce on an instance, as a user without script nor programming rights, add an object of type `XWiki.SearchSuggestConfig` to your profile page, and an object of type `XWiki.SearchSuggestSourceClass` as well. On this last object, set both `name` and `icon` properties to `$services.logging.getLogger(\"attacker\").error(\"I got programming: $services.security.authorization.hasAccess('programming')\")` and `limit` and `engine` to `{{/html}}{{async}}{{velocity}}$services.logging.getLogger(\"attacker\").error(\"I got programming: $services.security.authorization.hasAccess('programming')\"){{/velocity}}{{/async}}`. Save and display the page. If the logs contain any message `ERROR attacker - I got programming: true` then the instance is vulnerable.\n\n### Patches\nThis vulnerability has been patched in XWiki 14.10.21, 15.5.5 and 15.10.2.\n\n### Workarounds\nWe're not aware of any workaround except upgrading.\n\n### References\n- https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-21473\n- https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/742cd4591642be4cdcaf68325f17540e0934e64e","published":"2024-07-31T15:19:36.588Z","modified":"2026-08-12T14:52:11.856800Z","cvss":{"score":9.9,"severity":"CRITICAL","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-ui","fixedVersion":"14.10.21"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-ui","fixedVersion":"15.5.5"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-ui","fixedVersion":"15.10.2"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/0b135760514fef73db748986a3311f3edd4a553b","label":"xwiki/xwiki-platform@0b13576"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-21473"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/37xxx/CVE-2024-37901.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/security/advisories/GHSA-h63h-5c77-77p5"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-37901"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/0b135760514fef73db748986a3311f3edd4a553b"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/742cd4591642be4cdcaf68325f17540e0934e64e"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/9ce3e0319869b6d8131fc4e0909736f7041566a4"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform/commit/bbde8a4f564e3c28839440076334a9093e2b4834"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/xwiki/xwiki-platform"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-08-12T14:52:11.856800Z"}}
