How severe is CVE-2024-55662?

CVE-2024-55662 has a CVSS score of 9.9/10, rated CRITICAL. Immediate patching is strongly recommended.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2024-55662?

CVE-2024-55662 affects the following packages: org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-repository-server-ui (Maven), org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-repository-server-ui (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2024-55662?

Update org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-repository-server-ui to 15.10.9 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2024-55662 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2024-55662 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-repository-server-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-2024-55662 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-2024-55662?

O3 pinpoints whether CVE-2024-55662 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-2024-55662 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2024-55662 yet. This does not mean the vulnerability cannot be exploited — absence of public exploits does not imply safety. Apply the recommended fix and use O3 Security to monitor your exposure.

What is the EPSS score for CVE-2024-55662?

CVE-2024-55662 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.7%, placing it in the 50th 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-2024-55662?

CVE-2024-55662 is classified as CWE-96 (CWE-96), CWE-863 (CWE-863), Code Injection (CWE-94). These weakness types describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation. This is a high-impact weakness class that often enables remote code execution or data exposure.

When was CVE-2024-55662 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2024-55662 was published on December 12, 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 3.3-milestone-1 and prior to versions 15.10.9 and 16.3.0, on instances where Extension Repository Application is installed, any user can execute any code requiring programming rights on the server. This vulnerability has been fixed in XWiki 15.10.9 and 16.3.0. Since Extension Repository Application is not mandatory, it can be safely disabled on instances that do not use it as a workaround. It is also possible to manually apply the patches from commit 8659f17d500522bf33595e402391592a35a162e8 to the page ExtensionCode.ExtensionSheet and to the page ExtensionCode.ExtensionAuthorsDisplayer.
