GHSA-2grh-gr37-2283
MEDIUMGHSA-2grh-gr37-2283 is a medium-severity (CVSS 5.3) Information Exposure vulnerability in org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-api. O3 Security confirms whether GHSA-2grh-gr37-2283 is actually reachable in your code before you act, and blocks exploitation at runtime until you patch.
Solr search discloses email addresses of users

org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-api☕org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-api☕org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-apiReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects Maven packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
The Solr-based search in XWiki discloses the email addresses of users even when obfuscation of email addresses is enabled. To demonstrate the vulnerability, search for objcontent:email* using XWiki's regular search interface.
Patches
This has been fixed in XWiki 14.10.15, 15.5.2 and 15.7RC1 by not indexing email address properties when obfuscation is enabled. Further, changing the setting now triggers re-indexing of the affected wiki(s).
Workarounds
We're not aware of any workarounds.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-api. 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.
Fix
Update org.xwiki.platform:xwiki-platform-search-solr-api to 14.10.15 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-2grh-gr37-2283 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
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 O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-2grh-gr37-2283 is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-2grh-gr37-2283. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-2grh-gr37-2283 in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-2grh-gr37-2283 across Maven dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
