No CVSS score has been assigned to CVE-2025-29926 yet. Review the advisory details and affected package list to assess your exposure.

Which packages are affected by CVE-2025-29926?

CVE-2025-29926 affects the following packages: org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-wiki-rest-default (Maven), org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-wiki-rest-default (Maven), org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-wiki-rest-default (Maven). Ecosystems affected: Maven.

How do I fix CVE-2025-29926?

Update org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-wiki-rest-default to 15.10.15 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-29926 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

How do I detect CVE-2025-29926 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-wiki-rest-default, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

How do I mitigate CVE-2025-29926 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-2025-29926?

O3 Security's impact-aware SCA analyses which vulnerable code paths your application actually calls, so a match like CVE-2025-29926 can be triaged on real exposure rather than presence alone.

Is CVE-2025-29926 actively exploited in the wild?

No public exploit code has been indexed for CVE-2025-29926 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-2025-29926?

CVE-2025-29926 has an EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) score of 0.6%, placing it in the 46th 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-2025-29926?

CVE-2025-29926 is classified as CWE-285 (CWE-285), CWE-862 (CWE-862). These weakness types describe the underlying flaw category, which helps determine the potential impact and the right class of mitigation.

When was CVE-2025-29926 published, and has it been updated?

CVE-2025-29926 was published on March 19, 2025 and was last updated on August 12, 2026. Advisory data evolves as severity scores, affected ranges, and exploit intelligence are revised — always check the latest version of the advisory before acting.

Exploitation Status

Proof-of-concept exploit code exists

CISA’s SSVC triage found public proof-of-concept exploit code for this CVE, though no confirmed active exploitation.
CISA assesses this as automatable — exploitation doesn’t require manual, per-target effort, which raises the odds of mass scanning and opportunistic attacks.
A successful exploit gives an attacker total control of the affected component, not partial access.

Description

XWiki Platform is a generic wiki platform. Prior to 15.10.15, 16.4.6, and 16.10.0, any user can exploit the WikiManager REST API to create a new wiki, where the user could become an administrator and so performs other attacks on the farm. Note that this REST API is not bundled in XWiki Standard by default: it needs to be installed manually through the extension manager. The problem has been patched in versions 15.10.15, 16.4.6 and 16.10.0 of the REST module.
