Exploitation Status

No confirmed exploitation observed yet

  • 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.
  • CISA’s own triage has not observed active exploitation or public proof-of-concept code for this CVE as of its last assessment.

Description

Impact

It's possible for anyone to inject SQL using the parameter sort of the getdeleteddocuments.vm. It's injected as is as an ORDER BY value.

One can see the result of the injection with http://127.0.0.1:8080/xwiki/rest/liveData/sources/liveTable/entries?sourceParams.template=getdeleteddocuments.vm&sort=injected (this example does not work, but it shows that an HQL query was executed with the passed value which look nothing like an order by value, without any kind of sanitation).

Patches

This has been patched in 17.3.0-rc-1, 16.10.6.

Workarounds

There is no known workaround, other than upgrading XWiki.

XWiki 14 - SQL Injection via getdeleteddocuments.vm

Detection & mitigation playbook

Open-source dependency

  1. Detect

    Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-distribution-war, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.

  2. Fix

    Update org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-distribution-war to 16.10.6 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms CVE-2025-32429 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.

  3. Workarounds

    Until you can upgrade, make sure every query built from user input uses parameterised statements or a prepared-statement API rather than string concatenation, and reduce the database account's privileges so an injected query cannot read or alter data beyond what the feature needs.

How to detect CVE-2025-32429

A community-maintained Nuclei template exists for this CVE. You can scan for it directly:

nuclei -id cve-2025-32429 -u https://target
Template
XWiki Platform - SQL Injection
Severity
critical
Impact
Authenticated attackers with access to the deleted documents trash feature could inject SQL code, leading to data leakage, database modification, or further compromise of the application.
Remediation
Upgrade to XWiki Platform version 16.10.6 and 17.3.0-rc-1. (or newer) which addresses this vulnerability. Always validate and sanitize user-controlled input for query parameters.
